Gianna, Soft and Slow
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The wicker creaks so softly where the sleepy cat lies curled
On the braided rug beside you, the warmest place in all the world
Every little sound is gentle, every shadow settling low
And you are held here safely, so let your breathing slow

[Pre-chorus]
The candle dims to amber, the house breathes out its light
Your small hand finds my finger and you are held so tight
Close your eyes now, darling, drift on into the night

[Chorus]
Gianna, Gianna, the stars are keeping watch tonight
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here will fright
Gianna, Gianna, you are loved beyond all measure
Sleep now, little one, you are my quiet treasure

[Verse 2]
The moonlight finds the window and it lays across the floor
Soft as any blanket, it will guard the sleeping door
Somewhere far the wind is humming its slow and steady tune
And you are safe inside it, wrapped up warm beneath the moon

[Pre-chorus]
The candle dims to amber, the house breathes out its light
Your small hand finds my finger and you are held so tight
Close your eyes now, darling, drift on into the night

[Chorus]
Gianna, Gianna, the stars are keeping watch tonight
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here will fright
Gianna, Gianna, you are loved beyond all measure
Sleep now, little one, you are my quiet treasure

[Bridge]
Rest here where it's quiet, where the dark is soft and kind
Every worry fading, left so far behind

[Chorus]
Gianna, Gianna, the stars are keeping watch tonight
Nothing here will touch you, nothing here will fright
Gianna, Gianna, you are loved beyond all measure
Sleep now, little one, you are my quiet treasure

[Outro]
The chair has stopped its creaking, the cat is curled up tight
Sleep on now, dear Gianna, you are held through all the night
