Little Torchlight
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A little torch is glowing soft beneath the duvet's fold
Your small companion rests here, tucked in close against your arm
Every corner of this bed is warm and safe to hold
Nothing in the whole wide night can reach you or bring harm

[Pre-chorus]
The house is settling gently, every sound has drifted low
Your eyes are growing heavy though you're fighting it again
So let the quiet carry you to where you need to go

[Chorus]
Henry, close your eyes now, let the day float far away
You are held here, you are wanted, more than words can ever say
Henry, drift off slowly, there is nowhere else to be
Sleep will come so gently, and I'll still be here for thee

[Verse 2]
That tiny light beneath the covers keeps the dark at bay
Your little friend is watching over you the whole night through
Nothing here will hurry you or ask you to be brave
You can simply rest now, that is all you need to do

[Pre-chorus]
The house is settling gently, every sound has drifted low
Your eyes are growing heavy though you're fighting it again
So let the quiet carry you to where you need to go

[Chorus]
Henry, close your eyes now, let the day float far away
You are held here, you are wanted, more than words can ever say
Henry, drift off slowly, there is nowhere else to be
Sleep will come so gently, and I'll still be here for thee

[Bridge]
Whatever waits tomorrow, it can wait a little more
You are loved beyond the counting, safe behind this quiet door

[Chorus]
Henry, close your eyes now, let the day float far away
You are held here, you are wanted, more than words can ever say
Henry, drift off slowly, there is nowhere else to be
Sleep will come so gently, and I'll still be here for thee

[Outro]
The little torch grows dimmer as your breathing settles deep
Sleep well, small one, safe and steady, all the way through sleep
