  Verse 1

  The moths are pressing soft against the window pane They tap and flutter but they never cause you pain You are curled up warm beneath the heavy quilt And every worry of the day begins to wane

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes and gently meander Into sleep where every dream feels warm and grander The moths outside will never learn how loved you are Sleep on, my Alexander, my own little commander

  Verse 2

  I will stay beside you till the candle loses all its glow Watching over dreams that drift and gently ebb and flow You are held more tightly than the moths against the pane And love like this will never, ever let you go

  Pre-chorus

  So let the hush of evening settle soft as snow let every small concern dissolve and gently go because it's time to sing the name that guards you home

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes and gently meander Into sleep where every dream feels warm and grander The moths outside will never learn how loved you are Sleep on, my Alexander, my own little commander

  Bridge

  Even when the whole wide world is quiet and unseen you are the warmest corner of everything I mean

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes and gently meander Into sleep where every dream feels warm and grander The moths outside will never learn how loved you are Sleep on, my Alexander, my own little commander

  Outro

  The moths have settled now, and stillness holds the glass and you are safe inside, my Alexander, sleeping soft at last

  Verse 1

  Faded blue cushions creak beneath the woollen blanket you keep a small, familiar sound that settles you gently to sleep and every breath you take is watched with quiet, steady care you are the calmest thing that fills this whole night air

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes, the night is soft and slow Stars are low and gentle now, they know just where you go Alexander, you are held, you never sleep alone Warmth surrounds you always, saying you are loved and known

  Verse 2

  The house grows quiet as the evening settles into rest and something warm is folded gently against your chest though shadows stretch and wander through the corners of the room you're safe inside this quiet, held beneath the rising moon

  Pre-chorus

  So let the quiet carry every worry far away let the soft dark wrap around you till the break of day and hear how gently love is calling out your name

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes, the night is soft and slow Stars are low and gentle now, they know just where you go Alexander, you are held, you never sleep alone Warmth surrounds you always, saying you are loved and known

  Bridge

  No matter how the hours turn, no matter how they roam you are the steady centre of this quiet, sleepy home

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes, the night is soft and slow Stars are low and gentle now, they know just where you go Alexander, you are held, you never sleep alone Warmth surrounds you always, saying you are loved and known

  Outro

  The faded blue cushions settle soft beneath the woollen blanket's fold and you sleep on, Alexander, safe and warm and whole

  Verse 1

  Dust hangs soft in the orange glow that falls down the stairs and something in me settles just from looking at you Even the house grows quiet, as if holding its breath in prayers because every worry I hold turns gentle and true

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you soft and slow feel how safe you are within these walls that know your name let sleep creep in like warmth that never wants to go

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes and rest tonight let the whole wide world dissolve into soft blue Alexander, you are held here, warm and right and nothing in this dark will ever trouble you

  Verse 2

  Somewhere beyond the window the night pulls its blanket tight every sound grows soft as if listening for you You are the reason this house feels warm despite the light because holding you close makes every shadow kind and true

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold you soft and slow feel how safe you are within these walls that know your name let sleep creep in like warmth that never wants to go

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes and rest tonight let the whole wide world dissolve into soft blue Alexander, you are held here, warm and right and nothing in this dark will ever trouble you

  Bridge

  Years may pass and rooms may change and grow unfamiliar and new but this feeling, once given, stays exactly the same for you

  Chorus

  Alexander, close your eyes and rest tonight let the whole wide world dissolve into soft blue Alexander, you are held here, warm and right and nothing in this dark will ever trouble you

  Outro

  Dust will hang soft in that orange light long after you're asleep and when it fades to black, my love for you stays deep
