A Line of Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
A strip of yellow light falls soft across the floor tonight
It slips beneath the door to say that you are not alone
The whole house settles low around this quiet, gentle light
And every hush tonight is only yours, my Debbie, my own

[Pre-chorus]
The dark can keep its distance while this small light stays with you
It carries every promise that the morning will come true
So let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nothing left to do

[Chorus]
Debbie, Debbie, close your eyes beneath the gentle glow
You are held here safe and warm while the quiet rivers flow
Nothing in the shadows here can ever trouble you
Sleep now, Debbie, sleep, the whole night keeps you through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hallway a small light is standing guard
It never blinks or wavers though the night outside is hard
You are wrapped in something softer than the darkness ever was
Just breathe now, little one, and drift beneath that gentle glow

[Bridge]
Let the pillow hold you like the safest place you know
Let the light along the floor be all you need to know

[Chorus]
Debbie, Debbie, close your eyes beneath the gentle glow
You are held here safe and warm while the quiet rivers flow
Nothing in the shadows here can ever trouble you
Sleep now, Debbie, sleep, the whole night keeps you through

[Outro]
That thin line of light will still be waiting when you wake
Sleep now, it was only ever laid there for your sake
