The Door Left Open
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The door stands open just a little way for you
and a small light glows so gentle in the dark
it waits beside your pillow, watching all night through
so nothing in the shadows ever leaves its mark

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the whole house settle down
every corner of this night belongs to you
the quiet wraps around you like a warm dressing gown

[Chorus]
George, the light will keep on burning low and true
sleep is safe here, nothing comes to do you harm
you are held so closely, closer than you knew
wrapped in something steady, something warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hallway soft footsteps come and go
checking that you're breathing, slow and deep and sound
the whole world outside can wait for morning's glow
while you rest here safely, gathered and unfound

[Chorus]
George, the light will keep on burning low and true
sleep is safe here, nothing comes to do you harm
you are held so closely, closer than you knew
wrapped in something steady, something warm

[Bridge]
Even when the house falls silent, you are not alone
someone's always near you, just a breath away

[Chorus]
George, the light will keep on burning low and true
sleep is safe here, nothing comes to do you harm
you are held so closely, closer than you knew
wrapped in something steady, something warm

[Outro]
The door stays open, just a little, all night long
so you can sleep here knowing you belong
