Small Flame, Soft Light
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A small flame is bending slowly in the quiet of the room
And the shadows on the ceiling are as soft as they can be
Everything is waiting just to keep you safe till morning
There is nothing in this darkness that will ever trouble thee

[Pre-chorus]
The candle leans in closer as your breathing starts to slow
Every worry of the daylight has been folded away now
Rest is coming nearer with a warm and steady glow

[Chorus]
Ava, the whole night is holding you gently near
Nothing can reach you while this small light is burning
Sleep now, Ava, there is nothing here to fear
Even the dark is soft tonight, and kind, and yearning

[Verse 2]
The wax runs down so slowly like a story with no end
And the walls are painted amber by a light that never hurries
No sound but your own breathing and the hush that it can send
Nothing in this whole wide house is rushing you or worried

[Pre-chorus]
The candle leans in closer as your breathing starts to slow
Every worry of the daylight has been folded away now
Rest is coming nearer with a warm and steady glow

[Chorus]
Ava, the whole night is holding you gently near
Nothing can reach you while this small light is burning
Sleep now, Ava, there is nothing here to fear
Even the dark is soft tonight, and kind, and yearning

[Bridge]
Somewhere beyond the window the stars are keeping watch too
Quiet as a promise that never needs to be spoken

[Chorus]
Ava, the whole night is holding you gently near
Nothing can reach you while this small light is burning
Sleep now, Ava, there is nothing here to fear
Even the dark is soft tonight, and kind, and yearning

[Outro]
The small flame settles low now, its work almost done
Sleep on, you are the warmest thing this quiet house has won
