A Small Yellow Light
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
A small yellow beam finds the folds of your blanket
Tracing the blue cotton threads soft and slow
It rests on the place where your breathing grows quieter
And waits with you there while the whole house lets go

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the darkness feel kinder
Every thread of this blanket was woven to hold you
So let the light dim as the quiet grows wider

[Chorus]
Shannon, the night has nowhere else to be but here
Nothing can reach you, nothing can ever be harm
Sleep now, my Shannon, there is no need for fear
You are the warmest thing wrapped in my arm

[Verse 2]
The beam moves so gently across the soft cotton
It finds every fold like it's looking for you
It never once wavers, it's steady and certain
Just like the love that will see this night through

[Bridge]
Somewhere the stars are keeping their own kind of watch
But nothing they do could shine steadier than this
One small warm light, one hand upon yours

[Chorus]
Shannon, the night has nowhere else to be but here
Nothing can reach you, nothing can ever be harm
Sleep now, my Shannon, there is no need for fear
You are the warmest thing wrapped in my arm

[Outro]
The light goes soft now, sinking into blue cotton
Sleep well, little Shannon, you are held until morning
