Alexander, Close Your Eyes
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Dust hangs soft in the orange glow that falls down the stairs
and something in me settles just from looking at you
Even the house grows quiet, as if holding its breath in prayers
because every worry I hold turns gentle and true

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you soft and slow
feel how safe you are within these walls that know your name
let sleep creep in like warmth that never wants to go

[Chorus]
Alexander, close your eyes and rest tonight
let the whole wide world dissolve into soft blue
Alexander, you are held here, warm and right
and nothing in this dark will ever trouble you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beyond the window the night pulls its blanket tight
every sound grows soft as if listening for you
You are the reason this house feels warm despite the light
because holding you close makes every shadow kind and true

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you soft and slow
feel how safe you are within these walls that know your name
let sleep creep in like warmth that never wants to go

[Chorus]
Alexander, close your eyes and rest tonight
let the whole wide world dissolve into soft blue
Alexander, you are held here, warm and right
and nothing in this dark will ever trouble you

[Bridge]
Years may pass and rooms may change and grow unfamiliar and new
but this feeling, once given, stays exactly the same for you

[Chorus]
Alexander, close your eyes and rest tonight
let the whole wide world dissolve into soft blue
Alexander, you are held here, warm and right
and nothing in this dark will ever trouble you

[Outro]
Dust will hang soft in that orange light long after you're asleep
and when it fades to black, my love for you stays deep
