Little Light Down the Hall
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Down the hallway the rug has gone quiet and still
One small toy is waiting there for morning to come
Everything soft has stopped moving now to rest
Oscar, my love, the whole house breathes for you

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small hands unclench and your breathing grow slow
Nothing tonight needs holding but the warmth of your bed
Close your eyes and let the hush carry you home

[Chorus]
Oscar, the dark is only night wrapped soft around you
Sleep now, and know how deeply you are adored
You are the reason this house glows warm and quiet
Oscar, you're held closer than a door that's locked to guard

[Verse 2]
Somewhere your shoes sit waiting by a coat too big for you
Tomorrow will find them the moment you wake and stand
Tonight though belongs to stillness and to sleeping
You are the softest thing that this house understands

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small hands unclench and your breathing grow slow
Nothing tonight needs holding but the warmth of your bed
Close your eyes and let the hush carry you home

[Chorus]
Oscar, the dark is only night wrapped soft around you
Sleep now, and know how deeply you are adored
You are the reason this house glows warm and quiet
Oscar, you're held closer than a door that's locked to guard

[Bridge]
Rest now, and let the quiet do its gentle work
Every soft sound out there is only night settling in

[Chorus]
Oscar, the dark is only night wrapped soft around you
Sleep now, and know how deeply you are adored
You are the reason this house glows warm and quiet
Oscar, you're held closer than a door that's locked to guard

[Outro]
Sleep now, and let the toy on the floor wait for you
Morning will find you, safe as you were tonight
