Moonlight on the Grass
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The moon leans down to find you where you lie so still and warm
I watch it slip across the grass and know you're safe from harm
Somewhere a watering can holds nothing but the quiet night
You breathe so soft beside me like a candle in a storm

[Chorus]
Heidi, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and slow
Nothing in this whole wide house will let you go
Heidi, you're the warmest thing this tired night could hold
Rest here where the moonlight and the quiet grow

[Verse 2]
I saw the wet grass shining like it kept a secret just for you
The plastic can beside it caught a drop of silver dew
You are small and sleepy and the whole world waits for morning
But tonight there's only softness, only me and only you

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the darkness wrap you gently like a blanket
Every star tonight is quietly on watch above your bed
So let your breathing slow and let your busy thoughts be quiet

[Chorus]
Heidi, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and slow
Nothing in this whole wide house will let you go
Heidi, you're the warmest thing this tired night could hold
Rest here where the moonlight and the quiet grow

[Bridge]
You don't have to hold on tight to anything but sleep
I'll keep the small and quiet hours while you dream so deep

[Chorus]
Heidi, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and slow
Nothing in this whole wide house will let you go
Heidi, you're the warmest thing this tired night could hold
Rest here where the moonlight and the quiet grow

[Outro]
The grass will still be silver when the morning comes to find you
And I'll still be right beside you, just the way I always do
