A Little Light on the Stair
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
A small pool of light waits at the top of the stair
soft and yellow, spilling gently through the quiet air
it stays there so patiently, never in a rush
and under it I carry you to somewhere soft and rare

[Chorus]
Preston, Preston, let the whole house settle into rest on
every worry of the day, you can let it go and rest on
this warm and steady moment, quiet as a held breath
close your eyes, my dear one, Preston, you're the best one

[Verse 2]
The stairs creak softly as I climb them slow with you
the light above grows nearer, golden, warm and true
it never asks for anything, it simply stays and glows
and that is how I hold you, the whole night through

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house is dimming, every sound has gone to sleep
the glow above the stairway is the only light we keep
so let your breathing follow it, low and slow and deep

[Chorus]
Preston, Preston, let the whole house settle into rest on
every worry of the day, you can let it go and rest on
this warm and steady moment, quiet as a held breath
close your eyes, my dear one, Preston, you're the best one

[Bridge]
Nothing in the dark can touch you while that small light burns
you are held here, safe and certain, long after it returns
every night the same soft glow will wait here at the top
just for you, until the morning turns

[Chorus]
Preston, Preston, let the whole house settle into rest on
every worry of the day, you can let it go and rest on
this warm and steady moment, quiet as a held breath
close your eyes, my dear one, Preston, you're the best one

[Outro]
The light still waits there gently at the top of the old stair
sleep now, little Preston, you are safe and you are cared for
