Little Light Still Glowing
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A small light hums beside the clothes I folded soft and slow
It sends a gentle tune across the room to where you lie
Every quiet note tonight was chosen just to hold you close
The whole wide house goes still beneath this hush we're settling by

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows to match the song that's playing low and warm
Everything I love is wrapped inside this little room
And sleep is coming closer now to carry you along

[Chorus]
Kathy, close your eyes, the dark is only kind tonight
Nothing in this house would ever let you come to harm
You are the softest thing this whole wide, quiet world has made
Kathy, you are held, you are so safe within my arms

[Verse 2]
The pile of tiny clothes still smells like all our busy day
I fold them into shapes as steady as this lullaby
You watch the little light until your eyelids start to fall
And I could sit right here for hours just to hear you sigh

[Bridge]
Whatever tune is playing, it was always meant for you
It hums the way I feel each time I watch you drifting off

[Chorus]
Kathy, close your eyes, the dark is only kind tonight
Nothing in this house would ever let you come to harm
You are the softest thing this whole wide, quiet world has made
Kathy, you are held, you are so safe within my arms

[Outro]
The small light dims to nothing while the folded clothes stay near
Sleep well, my Kathy, you are loved and you are always near
