Circle of Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
A little lamp is turning the floor into a small round moon
its quiet light keeps watch while you drift far away
you don't need eyes open to know that I am near you
I'll stay right here with you until the break of day

[Chorus]
Lesley, Lesley, close your eyes now, let the evening in
you are held so gently nothing here can do you harm
Lesley, rest inside the hush that this small light begins
sleep is just another way of staying in my arms

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in this house the kettle settles and the clock slows down
every sound tonight is learning how to hush
you are the softest thing this whole wide house is holding
and nothing in the dark tonight will ever rush

[Pre-chorus]
The circle on the floorboards barely moves at all
it waits the way I wait, so patient and so slow
leaning toward the moment when your breathing settles low

[Chorus]
Lesley, Lesley, close your eyes now, let the evening in
you are held so gently nothing here can do you harm
Lesley, rest inside the hush that this small light begins
sleep is just another way of staying in my arms

[Bridge]
Every shadow in this room is only resting too
nothing here will stir until the morning comes for you

[Chorus]
Lesley, Lesley, close your eyes now, let the evening in
you are held so gently nothing here can do you harm
Lesley, rest inside the hush that this small light begins
sleep is just another way of staying in my arms

[Outro]
The little lamp will keep its small round watch till morning
and you will still be held when the first light comes
