A Circle of Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Dust is turning slowly where the lamp begins to glow
Small and gold above you, drifting soft and low
Nothing in this room tonight will ever let you go
Rest inside the quiet, let the whole world slow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and listen to the hush that holds you still
Every breath grows heavier, the house is calm and chill
Sleep is coming gently now, it's waiting on the sill

[Chorus]
Kevin, you're the warmest light in all this quiet house
Softer than the candle and safer than the dark
Nothing here can touch you, not a whisper, not a mouse
Kevin, you're the reason that this night has any spark

[Verse 2]
Shadows learn to settle when the lamp begins to dim
Curling round the corners like they're keeping watch on him
Wait, no one here but you and sleep and stillness at the brim
Drifting on a lullaby, a soft and sleepy hymn

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and listen to the hush that holds you still
Every breath grows heavier, the house is calm and chill
Sleep is coming gently now, it's waiting on the sill

[Chorus]
Kevin, you're the warmest light in all this quiet house
Softer than the candle and safer than the dark
Nothing here can touch you, not a whisper, not a mouse
Kevin, you're the reason that this night has any spark

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window, the whole wide sky is turning grey to blue
Nothing out there matters half as much as loving you

[Chorus]
Kevin, you're the warmest light in all this quiet house
Softer than the candle and safer than the dark
Nothing here can touch you, not a whisper, not a mouse
Kevin, you're the reason that this night has any spark

[Outro]
Sleep now in your circle, small and golden, warm and low
Kevin, you are held here, safe as anyone can go
