Behind the Red Glass
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A candle glows behind the red glass on the table tonight
and the whole room softens down to amber and gold
you are curled up warm where the light can find you
and I will stay close till the story is told

[Chorus]
Lucas, the night is holding you gently now
hush now, the dark is only a friend
close up your eyes, let the quiet surround you
I will be here when the morning begins again

[Verse 2]
The little flame flickers slow behind the red glass
never in a hurry, never burning too bright
you breathe just as slow as the wick in its glowing
safe in the small and steady hush of the night

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole world is sleeping
the wind has gone quiet, the stars settle in
and all that I want is to hold this soft moment

[Chorus]
Lucas, the night is holding you gently now
hush now, the dark is only a friend
close up your eyes, let the quiet surround you
I will be here when the morning begins again

[Bridge]
No ruckus tonight, just the hush and the glow
just you, and this warmth, and how much I love you so

[Chorus]
Lucas, the night is holding you gently now
hush now, the dark is only a friend
close up your eyes, let the quiet surround you
I will be here when the morning begins again

[Outro]
The candle burns low behind the red glass on the table
and you are still held, and you are still mine
