Soft Light on the Wall
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The pale light is drifting slow across the wall tonight
Sliding over corners it has always known so well
You are curled up warm beneath the quilt and out of sight
Safe inside this room where only gentle shadows dwell

[Pre-chorus]
Everything is settling now, the whole wide house grows still
Nothing here can reach you, nothing wants to break this calm
Close your eyes and let the hush come rolling in until

[Chorus]
Cheryl, Cheryl, rest your head and drift away
Nothing waits outside that you should ever fear
Cheryl, hush now, morning's not so far away
I am right beside you, and I will stay right here

[Verse 2]
The wardrobe stands there quiet in the corner of the room
Watching over you the way it always watches still
Nothing in the shadows brings a single ounce of gloom
Only soft and slow, the way the night begins to fill

[Chorus]
Cheryl, Cheryl, rest your head and drift away
Nothing waits outside that you should ever fear
Cheryl, hush now, morning's not so far away
I am right beside you, and I will stay right here

[Bridge]
Let your breathing slow to match the ticking of the clock
Every worry folds itself and quietly floats away

[Chorus]
Cheryl, Cheryl, rest your head and drift away
Nothing waits outside that you should ever fear
Cheryl, hush now, morning's not so far away
I am right beside you, and I will stay right here

[Outro]
The light will still be sliding soft when morning comes around
Sleep now, you are held here, safe and warm and sound
