The Candle Knows Your Name
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A small flame is flickering low upon the windowsill tonight
Watching over the dark room with its soft and steady light
It never asks for anything, it only holds its glow
Just like the love that wraps around you, holding you so tight

[Chorus]
Lily, Lily, close your eyes and let the night grow still
The candle hums a quiet tune just for you upon the sill
Nothing in this world could ever hold you half so gently
Sleep now, Lily, safe and warm, upon this quiet hill

[Verse 2]
Outside the window the whole wide world has finally gone to rest
The stars are only candles too, far off and softly dressed
And you are held here closer than anything I know
Wrapped up warm and tucked in tight against my chest

[Pre-chorus]
The flame will burn a little while and then it too will rest
But what I feel for you tonight will never fade or lessen
So let the hush come closer now, let go and settle in

[Chorus]
Lily, Lily, close your eyes and let the night grow still
The candle hums a quiet tune just for you upon the sill
Nothing in this world could ever hold you half so gently
Sleep now, Lily, safe and warm, upon this quiet hill

[Bridge]
Even when the light goes out and darkness fills the room
You will never be alone inside this gentle gloom
I will stay to watch you breathe until the morning comes

[Chorus]
Lily, Lily, close your eyes and let the night grow still
The candle hums a quiet tune just for you upon the sill
Nothing in this world could ever hold you half so gently
Sleep now, Lily, safe and warm, upon this quiet hill

[Outro]
The candle will keep flickering long after you have gone to sleep
And I will keep on loving you, a promise I will always keep
