Yellow Under the Door
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A yellow strip of light is glowing soft beneath the door
The corridor is quiet and the house has gone to rest
Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near you anymore
You are the one I love the most and held the very best

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day go drifting out of reach
Every worry folds up small and settles into sleep
There is nothing you need carry, nothing you need keep

[Chorus]
Irene, sleep now, calm and slow and warm and serene
Nothing stirs beyond the door, no need to intervene
You are held here safely, tucked in soft between
Irene, dream now, quiet as an evergreen

[Verse 2]
The hallway light stays burning while you settle into rest
No shadow ever passes that could reach you where you lie
I will keep the whole night gentle, easy, second best
To the peace that fills this room each time I hear you sigh

[Chorus]
Irene, sleep now, calm and slow and warm and serene
Nothing stirs beyond the door, no need to intervene
You are held here safely, tucked in soft between
Irene, dream now, quiet as an evergreen

[Bridge]
Hush now, nothing asks for you until the morning comes
Rest inside the quiet, let it carry where it will

[Chorus]
Irene, sleep now, calm and slow and warm and serene
Nothing stirs beyond the door, no need to intervene
You are held here safely, tucked in soft between
Irene, dream now, quiet as an evergreen

[Outro]
The yellow light still glows there, soft beneath the door
Sleep on, you are so loved, and loved a little more
