The Light Under the Door
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A soft little glow slips under the wooden door tonight
spilling out gold on the tiles like a secret kept just right
nothing to fear in the hush that gathers round your bed
you are held so gently here, safe and warm in the light

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow, every corner settling into rest
the glow on the floor is just for you, the very best
and now your eyes grow heavy, soft and low

[Chorus]
Laurie, the light will stay till morning comes to call
hush now, my darling, nothing here will let you fall
you are the warmest part of this whole quiet night
sleep now, sweet Laurie, wrapped in gold and small

[Verse 2]
The tiles keep the glow like they are holding it for you
a small steady comfort while the whole wide house stays true
dreams will come softly, drifting in on quiet feet
and I will be near you, watching all the night through

[Bridge]
Every shadow bends away and leaves the corners kind
nothing but the golden hush and you upon my mind

[Chorus]
Laurie, the light will stay till morning comes to call
hush now, my darling, nothing here will let you fall
you are the warmest part of this whole quiet night
sleep now, sweet Laurie, wrapped in gold and small

[Outro]
The glow beneath the door will keep its gentle place
sleep on, my Laurie, safe within its light's embrace
