Rocking You to Sleep
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a chair leans slowly on its worn wooden legs
Rocking in rhythm with the hush of the night
Your breathing has softened, so quiet and small
Curled up and glowing in the low candlelight

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak of the floor is a promise I keep
Nothing can reach you while these old boards hold fast
Close your eyes now and drift toward sleep

[Chorus]
Paul, you are held here, safe in the dark
Nothing will find you, nothing will call
Rest now, my dear one, still as the hush
Paul, you are cradled, gentle and small

[Verse 2]
Shadows are folding soft over the wall
Easy and slow like a tide going out
Your small hand is resting warm in my palm
There's nothing tonight worth worrying about

[Pre-chorus]
Every creak of the floor is a promise I keep
Nothing can reach you while these old boards hold fast
Close your eyes now and drift toward sleep

[Chorus]
Paul, you are held here, safe in the dark
Nothing will find you, nothing will call
Rest now, my dear one, still as the hush
Paul, you are cradled, gentle and small

[Bridge]
Sleep is a river that carries you far
Further than worry could ever go
You are the reason I stay up this late
Watching you settle in the warm candle glow

[Chorus]
Paul, you are held here, safe in the dark
Nothing will find you, nothing will call
Rest now, my dear one, still as the hush
Paul, you are cradled, gentle and small

[Outro]
Somewhere that chair keeps rocking on into the night
Long after you've drifted, still watching you fall
