Warm Behind the Glass
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The window blurs with warmth against the cold night air
and every amber light goes soft and slow to rest
I watch the glass grow misty, softer than a prayer
and know that of all the small things, you're the best

[Pre-chorus]
The street outside is fading into hush and haze
while you are wrapped in blankets, warm and near
so let the world go quiet in its own strange ways

[Chorus]
Vanessa, close your eyes now, let the hours go slow
there's nothing you need chase and nothing you need fear
I'll hum until the streetlights lose their amber glow
Vanessa, you're the reason I am happy here

[Verse 2]
The rattle of the window is a lullaby of sorts
a rhythm for the breathing that I hold so dear
and every little tremble that the old glass sports
just means the winter's near but you are always here

[Bridge]
Let the fog keep climbing, let the glass turn grey
I will keep you closer as the light gives way

[Chorus]
Vanessa, close your eyes now, let the hours go slow
there's nothing you need chase and nothing you need fear
I'll hum until the streetlights lose their amber glow
Vanessa, you're the reason I am happy here

[Outro]
The glass has turned to velvet, soft and dim and warm
so sleep now, little Vanessa, safe from any storm
