Sweeter Than the Night
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Lace curtains lift and settle with a breath of cooler air
Somewhere past that window the whole wide world grows still
Nothing out there tonight could ever need your care
Rest is all that's asked of you, and rest is all you will

[Chorus]
Peter, close your eyes now, let the quiet be your friend
Nothing sweeter than this hour when the day lets go
Peter, you're the reason soft light lingers till the end
Sleep is coming gently now, and gently it will flow

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a curtain sways like something breathing in its sleep
Cool air slips in quiet, never asking to be seen
You are held here safer than a promise anyone could keep
Wrapped in something warmer than the hush of in between

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark outside is only dark and nothing more
Every small sound settles soft before it finds the door
And sleep is standing near you now, closer than before

[Chorus]
Peter, close your eyes now, let the quiet be your friend
Nothing sweeter than this hour when the day lets go
Peter, you're the reason soft light lingers till the end
Sleep is coming gently now, and gently it will flow

[Bridge]
Somewhere far the wind forgets to hurry anymore
Here it only lifts the lace and lays it down once more

[Chorus]
Peter, close your eyes now, let the quiet be your friend
Nothing sweeter than this hour when the day lets go
Peter, you're the reason soft light lingers till the end
Sleep is coming gently now, and gently it will flow

[Outro]
Let the curtain rest against the window, still and slow
You are safe inside this quiet, and it's time to go
