Little Light You Keep
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The lamp is low and the dust drifts soft through its glow
Turning so slowly it hardly seems to move at all
Everything settles the longer you watch it flow
I will stay here beside you till the quiet lets you fall

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small light have its say
Every worry can wait for another day
There is nothing out there that can find you here tonight

[Chorus]
Kit, my whole heart rests when you finally settle in
Nothing in this wide world could ever make me quit
You are the warmest thing that this house has ever held
Sleep now, Kit, and know how loved you are, just as you sit

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window the whole town is turning grey
Rooftops going quiet as the last cars drift on home
You are curled up safely while the dark rolls in to stay
Nothing needs to reach you, little one, you are not alone

[Bridge]
Let the hush come over you like water, slow and deep
Breathe it in and out until your hands forget to grip
Every little sound tonight is only part of sleep

[Chorus]
Kit, my whole heart rests when you finally settle in
Nothing in this wide world could ever make me quit
You are the warmest thing that this house has ever held
Sleep now, Kit, and know how loved you are, just as you sit

[Outro]
The dust has settled now, the lamp burns low and small
I will watch it with you until the morning comes to call
