Slow the Suds, Slow the Night
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The suds slide slow down the side of the tub tonight
Soft as a breath that settles when the day is done
You watch them go with your eyes so heavy and bright
Warm little hands still curled around the setting sun

[Pre-chorus]
Everything loud has gone quiet, folded soft and small
The water stills, the light dims low along the wall
And sleep is coming gentle, waiting just for you

[Chorus]
Doris, the whole wide night was made to hold you close
Nothing can reach you here, no harm gets through to you
Rest now, the dark is kind and glorious for us
Doris, this quiet peace was always meant for you

[Verse 2]
The bubbles thin to nothing, drifting down and gone
Yet still the warmth stays with you, wrapped around your skin
Someone is here beside you as the night rolls on
Watching how the calm and steady breathing settle in

[Bridge]
No need to hold on tight to anything tonight
Let go and drift, the dark will keep you safe and light

[Chorus]
Doris, the whole wide night was made to hold you close
Nothing can reach you here, no harm gets through to you
Rest now, the dark is kind and glorious for us
Doris, this quiet peace was always meant for you

[Outro]
The suds have slipped away now, the water still and clear
Sleep well, my Doris, safe and warm, the morning near
