The Yellow Light for Jean
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The house is dark but one small flame is burning low and gold
It glows behind the old iron stove, so patient and serene
That tiny light has watched this room through every year it's told
And now it watches over you, my darling little Jean

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the quiet gather round your bed
Every worry of the day is folding soft and thin
There is nothing in the dark that you should ever dread

[Chorus]
Jean, my Jean, the night is warm and you are held so tight
Nothing here can touch you while you're wrapped up safe within
Jean, my Jean, you are the reason for the gentle light
Sleep now, sleep now, let the soft world settle you to sleep

[Verse 2]
The stove breathes low and steady like a heart that beats for you
It keeps its little ember lit no matter what has been
That single glow has never once forgotten what to do
It stays awake so you can rest, my quiet little Jean

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the quiet gather round your bed
Every worry of the day is folding soft and thin
There is nothing in the dark that you should ever dread

[Chorus]
Jean, my Jean, the night is warm and you are held so tight
Nothing here can touch you while you're wrapped up safe within
Jean, my Jean, you are the reason for the gentle light
Sleep now, sleep now, let the soft world settle you to sleep

[Bridge]
However far the dark stretches out beyond this room
You are the warmest thing that any light was ever meant to find

[Chorus]
Jean, my Jean, the night is warm and you are held so tight
Nothing here can touch you while you're wrapped up safe within
Jean, my Jean, you are the reason for the gentle light
Sleep now, sleep now, let the soft world settle you to sleep

[Outro]
The little flame will keep on glowing gently through the night
Sleep now, Jean, and know that you were loved by that small light
