  Verse 1

  A blanket lies warm and heavy over my lap tonight Your breathing has slowed to something soft and slight Somewhere the stars are settling into their place And you are the whole of my heart, held gentle and right

  Pre-chorus

  The candle has dimmed to a low and golden glow Every worry of the day has nowhere left to go So let your small hand rest and let the quiet grow

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Archie, the night is soft and slow There is nowhere safer than the arms that hold you so Every star above is watching, keeping careful eye Rest here, Archie, there is nowhere else to go

  Verse 2

  The wind outside has settled down to barely a hush No sound left in the whole wide world but your breath You are held closer than anything I have ever held And nothing in this quiet room could ever wish you less

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Archie, the night is soft and slow There is nowhere safer than the arms that hold you so Every star above is watching, keeping careful eye Rest here, Archie, there is nowhere else to go

  Bridge

  Whatever comes tomorrow, it can wait outside this door You are loved beyond the counting, loved down to the core

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Archie, the night is soft and slow There is nowhere safer than the arms that hold you so Every star above is watching, keeping careful eye Rest here, Archie, there is nowhere else to go

  Outro

  The blanket still lies warm across this quiet lap Sleep well, little one, safe within this last long wrap

  Verse 1

  Somebody left the door open just a crack for you tonight So the hallway glow could find you softly where you lay Nothing in this house would ever dim your little light Rest now, love is standing watch until the break of day

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the whole wide house is breathing slow with you Every shadow in this room has turned to friend Sleep is coming gentle now, it's nearly leaning through

  Chorus

  Archie, Archie, drift away on quiet, easy tides Nobody could love you more than you are loved right here You are held so closely, Archie, whatever the night hides Sleep and know that morning always finds you, always near

  Verse 2

  Watch the little sliver of the light along the floor It will still be waiting gently when you wake and stir You don't need to keep one eye upon that open door Someone's always near enough to hear you if you were

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the whole wide house is breathing slow with you Every shadow in this room has turned to friend Sleep is coming gentle now, it's nearly leaning through

  Chorus

  Archie, Archie, drift away on quiet, easy tides Nobody could love you more than you are loved right here You are held so closely, Archie, whatever the night hides Sleep and know that morning always finds you, always near

  Bridge

  However far your dreaming takes you out across the dark You are never further than a single call away

  Chorus

  Archie, Archie, drift away on quiet, easy tides Nobody could love you more than you are loved right here You are held so closely, Archie, whatever the night hides Sleep and know that morning always finds you, always near

  Outro

  Sleep now, and the door stays open, just the way you like Somebody is watching over you until the light

  Verse 1

  Far off on the water a lighthouse turns slow tonight Sweeping the dark with its patient and steady light Somewhere out there the waves are rolling and wide But you are held close and warm here at my side

  Pre-chorus

  Let the wind settle down and the sky turn to rest Every worry can wait, you have nothing to prove or contest Close your eyes now, I'm holding the warmest of light

  Chorus

  Archie, the beam finds its way to you through the night Turning and turning to keep you safe and held tight Nothing can shake how completely you're loved, Archie dear Sleep now, my darling, there's nothing at all left to fear

  Verse 2

  The beam sweeps the harbour then comes back around again Steady and sure like a hand that will never let go Somewhere the tide is rolling in soft and low You are the reason this whole quiet night feels so calm

  Bridge

  Even when morning is far and the stars are still bright You are the warmest and safest thing in my sight No wave, no shadow could ever pull you from here

  Chorus

  Archie, the beam finds its way to you through the night Turning and turning to keep you safe and held tight Nothing can shake how completely you're loved, Archie dear Sleep now, my darling, there's nothing at all left to fear

  Outro

  Far off the lighthouse keeps turning its slow, steady beam Watching you softly and gently on into your dream
