Yellow Wool Socks
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Your yellow wool socks sit alone on the wooden floor tonight
Left by the stairs where the hallway lantern glows soft and low light
Nobody needs them now, for your small feet have found their rest
Curled up warm beneath the blanket that loves you best

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere the house is settling, soft as a held breath
Quiet is falling gentle, like snow before the rest
Close your eyes now, darling, there's nothing left to fear

[Chorus]
Rebecca, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in this house will let you go
Rebecca, dream beneath the quiet stars
You are held here, safe from where the dark air is

[Verse 2]
The open stairs stand still now, nobody climbing up or down
Just moonlight resting easy on the floorboards, pale and round
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world has gone to rest
So let your small heart settle soft against your chest

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere the house is settling, soft as a held breath
Quiet is falling gentle, like snow before the rest
Close your eyes now, darling, there's nothing left to fear

[Chorus]
Rebecca, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in this house will let you go
Rebecca, dream beneath the quiet stars
You are held here, safe from where the dark air is

[Bridge]
Nothing here will wander, nothing here will stray
Morning comes so gently, it will find you where you lay

[Chorus]
Rebecca, sleep is calling soft and low
Nothing in this house will let you go
Rebecca, dream beneath the quiet stars
You are held here, safe from where the dark air is

[Outro]
Your yellow wool socks will wait by the stairs till morning comes
So rest now, little one, beneath the hush of hummed songs
