Floorboards Soft and Slow
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The old wood floor is creaking soft beneath the heavy blanket's fold
Every little sound tonight is turning gentle, turning slow
You are wrapped up warm against the coming dark and cold
And nothing in this house will let the candle's comfort go

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the quiet settle over every little sigh
Close your eyes and let the whole wide world go softly by
There's nothing waiting out there that could ever make you cry

[Chorus]
Cody, Cody, rest your head and let the night be kind
Sleep is only love that's learned to slow and lose its way
You are held so closely, closer than you'll ever find
Cody, dream until the dark gives over into day

[Verse 2]
The blanket's heavy weight is like an arm around your chest
Somebody thought to make it warm before you settled in
You don't have to carry anything, you get to rest
This is where the quiet always lets the night begin

[Bridge]
Every creak below is just the house that keeps you safe
Nothing here will ever ask you to be more than you are

[Chorus]
Cody, Cody, rest your head and let the night be kind
Sleep is only love that's learned to slow and lose its way
You are held so closely, closer than you'll ever find
Cody, dream until the dark gives over into day

[Outro]
The floorboards settle quiet now beneath the blanket's fold
Sleep now, little one, you're safe, you're warm, you're loved, you're home
