Slowly Turning
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Shadows are turning slowly on the plaster white and still
The room is breathing softly with the hush of window light
Nothing in the dark tonight can ever mean you harm
You are held here closer than the moon is to the night

[Chorus]
Gia, the whole wide world goes quiet just for you
Sleep is a small boat rocking, and I will not let go
Close your eyes now, Gia, let the stars come into view
You are the softest secret that the night will ever know

[Verse 2]
The mobile spins its slow circle above your sleepy head
Little shapes are dancing gently where the ceiling meets the wall
Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason and no dread
Rest inside this quiet minute, let the evening take it all

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole night is turning too
Soft as breath, as steady as the tide upon the shore
Everything is leaning now toward the sound of you

[Chorus]
Gia, the whole wide world goes quiet just for you
Sleep is a small boat rocking, and I will not let go
Close your eyes now, Gia, let the stars come into view
You are the softest secret that the night will ever know

[Bridge]
Wherever your dreaming takes you, I will still be near
Nothing in the shadows has a reason to be feared

[Chorus]
Gia, the whole wide world goes quiet just for you
Sleep is a small boat rocking, and I will not let go
Close your eyes now, Gia, let the stars come into view
You are the softest secret that the night will ever know

[Outro]
The shadows keep on turning while you drift beyond my voice
Sleep now, little Gia, you were always my first choice
