  Verse 1

  A single blue flame clicks awake beneath the kettle's weight it hums the house to warmth before it's ever late the steam will rise so slow and settle soft and low and you are held here, Ali, wrapped in all its glow

  Chorus

  Ali, Ali, close your eyes and let the night grow still Outside, the world can wait while dreams begin to fill you are the warmest light this house will ever know sleep now, little one, and let your breathing slow

  Verse 2

  The kettle's whisper fades but warmth stays curled around your head it lingers soft and slow like colours turning red you do not need to keep the whole wide world in view for every gentle thing tonight is turning toward you

  Pre-chorus

  The flame has settled low, its whisper drifting straight to you it wraps around the dark and makes it soft and true and now your heavy eyes are ready to let go

  Chorus

  Ali, Ali, close your eyes and let the night grow still Outside, the world can wait while dreams begin to fill you are the warmest light this house will ever know sleep now, little one, and let your breathing slow

  Bridge

  One day you'll wander far past every door and gate but tonight you're small enough to simply lie and wait the whole world holds its breath to keep this moment true and everything that's soft tonight belongs to you

  Chorus

  Ali, Ali, close your eyes and let the night grow still Outside, the world can wait while dreams begin to fill you are the warmest light this house will ever know sleep now, little one, and let your breathing slow

  Outro

  The blue flame settles into embers, soft and low and Ali sleeps inside the warmth it left to glow

  Verse 1

  Branches drift like slow hands over the white plaster wall telling you it's safe to let your eyes grow deep nothing in this room can ever make you fall for I am here to hold you while you sleep

  Pre-chorus

  The branches sway like fingers keeping watch through the night soft against the ceiling, turning dark into light and here beneath the quiet, my heart says your name

  Chorus

  Ali, hush now, sleep deep in this warm and quiet valley where nothing can reach you, no shadow, no harm Ali, you're held while the night holds its tally safe in the hush of my steady arm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the world has gone to rest but here inside these walls the light is soft and low you are the quiet centre of every love confessed and I will stay beside you wherever dreams may go

  Pre-chorus

  The branches sway like fingers keeping watch through the night soft against the ceiling, turning dark into light and here beneath the quiet, my heart says your name

  Chorus

  Ali, hush now, sleep deep in this warm and quiet valley where nothing can reach you, no shadow, no harm Ali, you're held while the night holds its tally safe in the hush of my steady arm

  Bridge

  However far the night stretches, however long it feels this small room will hold you until the morning heals

  Chorus

  Ali, hush now, sleep deep in this warm and quiet valley where nothing can reach you, no shadow, no harm Ali, you're held while the night holds its tally safe in the hush of my steady arm

  Outro

  The branches keep moving slow shadows across the same white wall and long after you drift off, I'll still be watching over you
