Cold Moon, Warm You
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The garden holds its breath beneath the thin October moon
and every leaf out there is wearing one small silver spoon
of dew that gathered slow while you were curling into rest
I watch you breathe and think the whole wide night's in tune

[Pre-chorus]
The cold stays outside where the green leaves softly bend
your blanket keeps you warmer than the moon could ever send
so let your eyes grow heavy as the dark begins to blend

[Chorus]
Regina, close your eyes now, let the hours drift and pass
hush now, little Regina, you are safe within my arms
nothing in the dark outside can touch you where you are
Regina, sleep is calling soft as moonlight on the grass

[Verse 2]
Out there the frost is finding every quiet, curling leaf
but here inside your blanket there is nowhere cold can reach
I'll stay beside you counting all the ways that you are loved
while the crescent moon hangs thin and small above the sleeping street

[Pre-chorus]
The cold stays outside where the green leaves softly bend
your blanket keeps you warmer than the moon could ever send
so let your eyes grow heavy as the dark begins to blend

[Chorus]
Regina, close your eyes now, let the hours drift and pass
hush now, little Regina, you are safe within my arms
nothing in the dark outside can touch you where you are
Regina, sleep is calling soft as moonlight on the grass

[Bridge]
Every drop that gathers finds its own small patch of peace
so let the whole night settle till your breathing starts to ease

[Chorus]
Regina, close your eyes now, let the hours drift and pass
hush now, little Regina, you are safe within my arms
nothing in the dark outside can touch you where you are
Regina, sleep is calling soft as moonlight on the grass

[Outro]
The moon will keep its watch above the sleeping garden rows
and I'll stay here beside you till the gentle morning grows
