Yellow Light for Alice
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The lamp burns low and yellow over books nobody's read tonight
Its quiet gold is spilling soft across the sleepy floor
You are the reason this whole room feels warm and right
You are the one I'm watching for, the one I'm keeping safe for

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come rolling in like tide
Nothing in the dark tonight is bigger than my love
I will stay right here with you until the morning light

[Chorus]
Alice, sleep, the whole wide night is holding you so gently
Nothing here can touch you, nothing here can bring you harm
You are loved beyond what any song could ever tell you plainly
Alice, rest, you're wrapped up warm inside my arm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are keeping watch for you
Every little breath you take is safe inside this room
You don't have to carry anything the whole night through
Just let go and drift away, there's nowhere you need to move

[Bridge]
Hush now, nothing here will ever ask you to be brave
You can simply rest tonight, there's nothing left to prove

[Chorus]
Alice, sleep, the whole wide night is holding you so gently
Nothing here can touch you, nothing here can bring you harm
You are loved beyond what any song could ever tell you plainly
Alice, rest, you're wrapped up warm inside my arm

[Outro]
The lamp will glow here softly till the morning finds you waking
Sleep now, little one, there's nothing in this night worth breaking
