Slowly, Chloe
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Leaves are moving slowly on the hood above your head
Painting soft grey ripples while the warm night holds your bed
Nothing in this dark tonight will ever come too close
You are wrapped in quiet, in the peace you need the most

[Chorus]
Chloe, Chloe, close your eyes and drift so slowly
Nothing in the world tonight can touch you, Chloe
You are held, you are warm, you are safe from any harm
Rest inside the circle of this quiet, gentle arm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the branches sway and bend
Weaving little patterns that will change and blur and blend
But you do not need to watch them, you can let them go
Sleep is soft and endless like a field of falling snow

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening settle deep into your chest
Every little worry has been gathered up and blessed
Close your eyes, my darling, and let sleep begin its rest

[Chorus]
Chloe, Chloe, close your eyes and drift so slowly
Nothing in the world tonight can touch you, Chloe
You are held, you are warm, you are safe from any harm
Rest inside the circle of this quiet, gentle arm

[Bridge]
You are loved beyond the reach of any counting
Loved before the moon began its slow, soft mounting
Loved as steady as the breath that stirs the trees

[Chorus]
Chloe, Chloe, close your eyes and drift so slowly
Nothing in the world tonight can touch you, Chloe
You are held, you are warm, you are safe from any harm
Rest inside the circle of this quiet, gentle arm

[Outro]
The leaves keep moving softly though your eyes have finally closed
Sleep now, little one, exactly as the night intended, slowly
