Circle of Light
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The little yellow shade throws down a circle soft and low
It settles on the books stacked quiet on the floor below
You watch it with your heavy eyes still fighting off the dark
And I will stay right here until you drift beyond that spark

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide room has gone as gentle as a held breath
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can bring you harm
So let your busy little thoughts go soft and settle down

[Chorus]
Sonny, close your eyes, the night has nowhere else to be
There is only this small light and you and me
Sonny, you are held as steady as the warmest glow
Rest now in the hush and let the whole world go slow

[Verse 2]
Those three small books can wait until the morning finds them here
Their stories fold up quiet, and there's nothing you should fear
The lamp will keep its watch and hold the shadows at the wall
I will keep mine over you, the softest watch of all

[Bridge]
No need to chase the day, it's already tucked away
Just breathe here in the gold and let it carry you to sleep

[Chorus]
Sonny, close your eyes, the night has nowhere else to be
There is only this small light and you and me
Sonny, you are held as steady as the warmest glow
Rest now in the hush and let the whole world go slow

[Outro]
The yellow shade will burn on low till morning comes around
Sleep now, Sonny, safe within its small and steady round
