The Last Small Flame
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A candle bends its head down low and slow tonight
Wax gathers soft and quiet in the fading light
Nothing in this room will ever come to harm
Sleep now in the hush, you're circled safe and warm

[Chorus]
Whitney, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Rest inside the calm that we have made to hold your mind
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to roam
Whitney, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

[Verse 2]
An empty little cot was waiting here for you to come
Now it holds the softest breathing underneath the hum
Every little shadow bows and settles at your feet
Drift here where the whole wide night turns simple, slow, and sweet

[Pre-chorus]
Watch how gently one small flame can hold the whole room still
Feel how love keeps burning low, however dark it will
Let that quiet ember carry you to where you're headed

[Chorus]
Whitney, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Rest inside the calm that we have made to hold your mind
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to roam
Whitney, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

[Bridge]
Even when the little flame has finally burned to nothing
Warmth will stay behind it, soft and slow and trusting
You were never meant to face the night alone

[Chorus]
Whitney, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Rest inside the calm that we have made to hold your mind
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to roam
Whitney, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

[Outro]
Wax has settled soft and still where one small flame has gone
Sleep on, love is what stays lit when every light goes on
