  Verse 1

  Green leaves are swaying soft above your little bed tonight Wind moves so gently, careful not to wake you with its might Nothing can reach you, nothing can touch where you lie You're held so closely underneath this wide and quiet sky

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the branches whisper low and slow above your head Every small breath you take is answered by the wind instead So let your eyes grow heavy, let the dark come soft and near

  Chorus

  Blanche, my love is deeper than the shade the leaves let fall Sleep now, Blanche, there's nothing in the dark to fear at all Somewhere leaves are turning, somewhere branches gently sway You are loved past counting, Blanche, and you will be come day

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far above you, dark green leaves keep watch tonight Cradled underneath them, you are held and you are right No storm could touch this quiet, no cold could reach this deep You are wrapped in something steady while you drift to sleep

  Bridge

  Rest now, little one, the wind has nowhere else to be It only stays to rock you gently, watching over thee Let the branches murmur softer than a lullaby could say

  Chorus

  Blanche, my love is deeper than the shade the leaves let fall Sleep now, Blanche, there's nothing in the dark to fear at all Somewhere leaves are turning, somewhere branches gently sway You are loved past counting, Blanche, and you will be come day

  Outro

  Sleep now beneath the green that leans so low to keep you warm Nothing in this quiet night will ever bring you harm

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a low horn hums through the dark like a friend Warm little light on the dial keeps watch where you lie Nothing tonight is asking for you to pretend Close up your eyes now, Blanche, and drift with a sigh

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the rain keeps time with the beat of the tune Nothing can reach you, wrapped in this hush and this glow Rest now, my dear, while the night hums its slow

  Chorus

  Blanche, you are held here, safe as the amber light Softly the music turns while you settle and sway Nobody's calling you back from this warm little night Blanche, you are loved here, all the way till the day

  Verse 2

  Let every worry uncurl like a hand going still Piano keys fall like the rain on the sill You don't need to answer to anyone's call Just breathe, and let sleep be the softest of all

  Chorus

  Blanche, you are held here, safe as the amber light Softly the music turns while you settle and sway Nobody's calling you back from this warm little night Blanche, you are loved here, all the way till the day

  Bridge

  Every note that hums low is a hand on your chest Telling you gently that you have earned this rest

  Chorus

  Blanche, you are held here, safe as the amber light Softly the music turns while you settle and sway Nobody's calling you back from this warm little night Blanche, you are loved here, all the way till the day

  Outro

  Dim glows the dial as the last low note settles in Sleep now, dear Blanche, let the warm night begin

  Verse 1

  Frost is drawing quiet pictures on the windowsill tonight Somewhere in the dark oak an owl is calling low You are wrapped in blankets, held so warm and safe and tight There is nowhere in the whole wide world you need to go

  Chorus

  Blanche, the night is holding you so gently in its hand Every star above has learned the softness of your name Close your eyes now, Blanche, and drift to some faraway land Sleep will carry you along like moonlight through a windowpane

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass the branch is swaying, slow and bare Nothing in the dark tonight will ever come too near You are loved as surely as the frost that gathers there Rest inside the quiet, there is nothing left to fear

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the owl sing its old and gentle song Let the frost keep tracing patterns while you drift so deep Nothing in this house tonight will ever lead you wrong

  Chorus

  Blanche, the night is holding you so gently in its hand Every star above has learned the softness of your name Close your eyes now, Blanche, and drift to some faraway land Sleep will carry you along like moonlight through a windowpane

  Bridge

  However far the dark stretches beyond this room You are the warmest thing that any night has known

  Chorus

  Blanche, the night is holding you so gently in its hand Every star above has learned the softness of your name Close your eyes now, Blanche, and drift to some faraway land Sleep will carry you along like moonlight through a windowpane

  Outro

  The frost will still be waiting when the morning comes to call And you'll be here, still loved, still safe, still held through it all
