The Whole Wide World Asleep
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The kitchen clock ticks soft above the sink of quiet spoons
Somewhere far off a gentle hush is settling on the rooms
You breathe so slow beneath the blanket, warm and curled up small
Close your eyes now, let the evening carry you like tunes

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound tonight is folding into rest
Hushing all the day away till nothing feels like stress
Sleep is coming closer now, so lean into its chest

[Chorus]
Nicole, the whole wide world is holding you tonight
Nobody could love you more or hold you half as tight
There's nothing you should carry now, just let it go entire
Sleep on, Nicole, until you wake up in the morning light

[Verse 2]
The spoons lie still and dreaming in the basin's gentle bowl
Nothing needs your worry now, no reason and no toll
You are the softest ending to a day that ran so full
Rest here where it's warm and slow, let quiet take control

[Bridge]
Even the clock upon the wall is ticking out a lull
Time is only holding you until the morning's full

[Chorus]
Nicole, the whole wide world is holding you tonight
Nobody could love you more or hold you half as tight
There's nothing you should carry now, just let it go entire
Sleep on, Nicole, until you wake up in the morning light

[Outro]
The spoons will still be resting in the sink when morning comes
Sleep now, and the whole wide world will still be here for you
