White Curtains, Alyssa
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The white cotton curtains are drifting soft and slow tonight
Over floorboards worn smooth by the warm and fading light
Somewhere past that window the whole wide world can wait
While you drift here beside me, safe and small and safe

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the breeze come turn the room to hush
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever come to rush
Close your eyes and listen while the quiet starts to grow

[Chorus]
Alyssa, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here will bring you harm
I could watch you sleeping and never tire of this
Alyssa, my whole heart is wrapped around this kiss

[Verse 2]
The window stays open just to let the cool air through
Carrying the hush of stars down softly onto you
Every little breath you take is steady, slow and deep
And I am only here to guard this gift of sleep

[Chorus]
Alyssa, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here will bring you harm
I could watch you sleeping and never tire of this
Alyssa, my whole heart is wrapped around this kiss

[Bridge]
Sleep on, sleep on, there is nowhere else to be
Just this room, this breath, this quiet company
No need to wake, no reason to be missed
You are exactly where you're meant to be, held like this

[Chorus]
Alyssa, the night is holding you so gently in its arms
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here will bring you harm
I could watch you sleeping and never tire of this
Alyssa, my whole heart is wrapped around this kiss

[Outro]
The curtains settle still against the sleeping floor
Rest now, little one, I'm here, I'll always be here
