Little Light Above You
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The little shapes are turning soft above your sleepy head
They spin so slow and quiet, like a story left unsaid
Outside the dark is patient, it will wait till morning comes
I'll stay right here beside you till you drift into your bed

[Pre-chorus]
The night is wide and gentle and it holds you safe and near
There's nothing in the shadows that could ever reach you here
So let your breathing slow now, let your small hands finally rest

[Chorus]
Florence, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
There's a warmth that wraps around you and it always, always will
Florence, you're the reason every quiet hour feels right
Sleep now, little Florence, you are loved with all my might

[Verse 2]
The gentle light above you turns so easy, turns so slow
It hums a tune that only you and quiet moments know
Every road we've travelled brought us softly to this rest
I'll watch you sleeping calmly as the evening starts to go

[Chorus]
Florence, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
There's a warmth that wraps around you and it always, always will
Florence, you're the reason every quiet hour feels right
Sleep now, little Florence, you are loved with all my might

[Bridge]
Rest now, nothing here can hurt you, nothing here will ever try
Every breath you take beside me is a soft and safe goodnight

[Chorus]
Florence, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
There's a warmth that wraps around you and it always, always will
Florence, you're the reason every quiet hour feels right
Sleep now, little Florence, you are loved with all my might

[Outro]
The little shapes keep turning soft while you are sound asleep
I'll be right here in the quiet, yours to hold and yours to keep
