Slow as Candlelight
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Watch how the small flame leans and settles low and slow
Wax comes undone in ribbons only night could ever know
You are as warm as that soft light against the glass
Held here so gently while the hours quietly pass

[Pre-chorus]
Down through the braided wick the warmth begins to pour
Nothing tonight will ask for more than what you are
Sleep is arriving now, soft as a hand upon a door

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the dark has nowhere else to be but kind
Every worry of the day has quietly declined
Close your eyes, Lily-Rose, and let the warmth compose
A slow and easy rest, as gentle as the wax that flows

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a small light curls and pools around itself
You are held the way that warmth is held and nothing else
Nothing here will hurry you, nothing needs to rise
Only breathing, only rest, only closing eyes

[Pre-chorus]
Down through the braided wick the warmth begins to pour
Nothing tonight will ask for more than what you are
Sleep is arriving now, soft as a hand upon a door

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the dark has nowhere else to be but kind
Every worry of the day has quietly declined
Close your eyes, Lily-Rose, and let the warmth compose
A slow and easy rest, as gentle as the wax that flows

[Bridge]
Let every small light in the room grow dim and still
Nothing is asked of you tonight, nothing ever will

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the dark has nowhere else to be but kind
Every worry of the day has quietly declined
Close your eyes, Lily-Rose, and let the warmth compose
A slow and easy rest, as gentle as the wax that flows

[Outro]
Somewhere that small flame is settling into its last soft glow
Sleep now, Lily-Rose, however slowly you let go
