Little Light Stays On
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
A small red glow is watching over you tonight
Set against the cotton where the blue moons drift so light
Nothing in this room will ever come to pull you wild
You are held here safely, you are Hilda, sleepy child

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day slip out of reach
Every worry softens, there is nothing left to teach
Just the hush of breathing while the dark begins to speak

[Chorus]
Hilda, hush now, let the quiet carry you along
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing here was ever wrong
Sleep is just a river and you're drifting safe and slow
Hilda, you are cradled everywhere you go

[Verse 2]
Under blankets patterned soft with rivers, blue and mild
Warmth is wrapped around you like it always has, my child
Somewhere near your pillow that small light begins to fade
Still it leaves behind the calm that all its glowing made

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day slip out of reach
Every worry softens, there is nothing left to teach
Just the hush of breathing while the dark begins to speak

[Chorus]
Hilda, hush now, let the quiet carry you along
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing here was ever wrong
Sleep is just a river and you're drifting safe and slow
Hilda, you are cradled everywhere you go

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to happen, nothing needs to stir
You are so completely loved just breathing where you are
Rest is just a shoreline pulling you in soft and slow

[Chorus]
Hilda, hush now, let the quiet carry you along
Nothing here can hurt you, nothing here was ever wrong
Sleep is just a river and you're drifting safe and slow
Hilda, you are cradled everywhere you go

[Outro]
That small red light will keep its steady watch till dawn
Sleep now, Hilda, you are safe here, you are held, you are home
