Soft Where You Lie
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Curtains breathe so softly by the window where you lie
Catching just a whisper of the calm night passing by
Nothing in this room will ever pull you out of rest
You are held so gently, you are safe upon this nest

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you along
Every little worry turns to nothing, turns to song
Drift a little further where the dark is soft and slow

[Chorus]
Billy, Billy, hush now, let the night be still and mild
Nothing here will ever hurt you, dearest little child
Sleep is only kindness wrapping round you soft and warm
Billy, you are cradled safe from every kind of storm

[Verse 2]
White cotton trembles gently though there's nothing there to fear
Just the breath of midnight passing quiet and so near
You are wrapped in stillness deeper than the darkest blue
Rest is only waiting here to hold and keep you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you along
Every little worry turns to nothing, turns to song
Drift a little further where the dark is soft and slow

[Chorus]
Billy, Billy, hush now, let the night be still and mild
Nothing here will ever hurt you, dearest little child
Sleep is only kindness wrapping round you soft and warm
Billy, you are cradled safe from every kind of storm

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window, stars are keeping watch tonight
Holding every dream of yours until the morning light

[Chorus]
Billy, Billy, hush now, let the night be still and mild
Nothing here will ever hurt you, dearest little child
Sleep is only kindness wrapping round you soft and warm
Billy, you are cradled safe from every kind of storm

[Outro]
Let the cotton settle soft as breathing slows to rest
Sleep now, little Billy, gathered gently, always blessed
