Happy birthday, Ayaan, stand up tall Nobody lights a room like you do Let the trumpets blow and the dancers sprawl This whole party started because of you

That old shed keeps your boots in line Caked in mud from the games you ran Every scuff tells a story of mine Nobody laughs quite like you can

Here's to the mess that you leave behind The joy you track through every door We wouldn't have you any other kind Just louder, longer, one candle more

You laugh and the whole yard softens No need to fill the air with talk often Just your hand resting close to mine Nothing about us feels like an offer

Cold foam covers where I stood Every step gone for good But you stay when the water's rough Ayaan, that's proof enough

Verse 1

Yellow light comes soft through the cotton weave above you warming every corner of this small and quiet room under the heavy duvet you are held and steady Ayaan, this whole house breathes slower now because of you

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the window the stars are settling too every sound is fading into hush and into blue let the last of daylight go and follow it down

Chorus

Ayaan, the night has nothing in it that can harm you warm beneath the light that glows like woven gold above you rest inside the calm that only you can carry sleep now, Ayaan, there is nowhere safer I could name

Verse 2

Every thread above you keeps the darkness soft and far away folded in the warmth that only bedtime seems to know your breathing slows to match the hush that fills the room and you are loved beyond whatever words could ever show

Bridge

Let your small hands rest, there is nothing left to hold the whole night keeps its watch so you don't have to

The lamp burns low behind the cotton, gentle as before sleep now, Ayaan, you are golden, you are safe, you are more

Verse 1

The wheels click soft on the rails below the dark glass Carrying you further into calm and quiet skies Every small sound is folding into rest at last I will stay close while the whole wide night-time sighs

Pre-chorus

Let your eyes grow heavy as the distance hums along Nothing in this night will ever reach where you lie Rest here safe inside the warmth of this small song

Chorus

Ayaan, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight You are held so gently as the miles drift on by Nothing in this whole wide world could dim your light Sleep now, Ayaan, under this soft and steady sky

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window the world is turning slow Every light we pass is a small and fading spark You are the warmest thing that this old train will know Safe inside the hush of this rolling, rocking dark

Bridge

Rest your small hand here against the beating hush Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush

Chorus

Ayaan, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight You are held so gently as the miles drift on by Nothing in this whole wide world could dim your light Sleep now, Ayaan, under this soft and steady sky

Verse 1

A small moth turns around the light above the wooden stair Content to keep on circling, with nowhere else to be And I could watch till morning how you settle in my arm Because you are the quiet thing that keeps this whole house warm

Pre-chorus

The hush is coming closer now and pulling down the dark The house breathes slow around us like a soft and sleepy heart So let your eyes grow heavy, love, there's nothing you must hold

Chorus

Ayaan, Ayaan, the night is soft and kind Nothing in the shadows means to trouble your small mind Every star tonight, Ayaan, was lit to watch you sleep You are the one thing in this world I mean to always keep

Verse 2

The bulb hums low above the stair, a tired golden eye And still that moth keeps circling like it never wants to fly But you don't need to wander, love, you're already found You are the warmest, safest thing that I have ever known

Bridge

Rest your head, the day is done, there's no more ground to cover Sleep will carry what I can't, and I will be your cover

Chorus

Ayaan, Ayaan, the night is soft and kind Nothing in the shadows means to trouble your small mind Every star tonight, Ayaan, was lit to watch you sleep You are the one thing in this world I mean to always keep

Outro

Somewhere on the stair that light is dimming low and slow And you are already drifting where I always want you to go
