  Verse 1

  A little beam sneaks under the duvet tonight finding you curled where the shadows are light dust turns to gold in that thin, quiet ray softly it settles the way good things stay

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the small light go dim nothing can reach you, nothing gets in hold onto warm as the hush starts to grow

  Chorus

  Ciara, the night has room just for you under the covers where warm gathers too sleep finds you gentle, sleep finds you near Ciara, there's nothing but quiet in here

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the moon leans its face to the glass watching the small beam of light as it passes it touches your cheek like it knows you by name tucks itself softly and stays just the same

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the small light go dim nothing can reach you, nothing gets in hold onto warm as the hush starts to grow

  Chorus

  Ciara, the night has room just for you under the covers where warm gathers too sleep finds you gentle, sleep finds you near Ciara, there's nothing but quiet in here

  Bridge

  Rest now, the dark is a blanket that's kind carrying you soft to the edge of your mind every small breath is a step down to sleep

  Chorus

  Ciara, the night has room just for you under the covers where warm gathers too sleep finds you gentle, sleep finds you near Ciara, there's nothing but quiet in here

  Outro

  That small beam of light will still be there when you wake and warm will be waiting, however long that takes

  Verse 1

  Watch the little bubbles rest so quiet on the water one by one they settle down the way that you should follow softly, softly, nothing here will ever make a sound you're the warmest thing this whole small room has ever held

  Pre-chorus

  Now the water's stilling, so let your eyes grow heavy already you are halfway into dreaming, safe and ready hold on to nothing, just let yourself sink slow

  Chorus

  Ciara, close your eyes now, let the warm night hold you every bit of you is loved, there's nothing left to prove to you you were made to be this soft, this cared for, this held near sleep now, Ciara, and know I'm always here

  Verse 2

  Feel how warm the water is around you, holding steady already all the noise and light have quietly gone unready nothing needs your worry now, not one single thing you can let the whole wide day go drifting out to sea

  Pre-chorus

  Now the water's stilling, so let your eyes grow heavy already you are halfway into dreaming, safe and ready hold on to nothing, just let yourself sink slow

  Chorus

  Ciara, close your eyes now, let the warm night hold you every bit of you is loved, there's nothing left to prove to you you were made to be this soft, this cared for, this held near sleep now, Ciara, and know I'm always here

  Bridge

  Sink a little deeper, let your breathing slow and settle you don't have to hold on to a single thing tonight whatever small thing troubled you has already popped and vanished

  Chorus

  Ciara, close your eyes now, let the warm night hold you every bit of you is loved, there's nothing left to prove to you you were made to be this soft, this cared for, this held near sleep now, Ciara, and know I'm always here

  Outro

  Somewhere the last small bubble breaks and quietly disappears you are already sleeping, safe and warm, and loved right here

  Verse 1

  Far across the water a slow light turns and glows Sweeping out so gently, then fading soft and low You are wrapped up warmer than any night that blows Safe here in the hush where the quiet rivers flow

  Pre-chorus

  That far beam keeps turning, so patient and so slow Watching over sailors who wander far from home But nothing out there loves you the way I love you so

  Chorus

  Ciara, hush now, the whole wide world can wait Sleep is a soft harbour and you're already safe Nothing can reach you, not tonight, not ever late Ciara, you are held here, no need to be afraid

  Verse 2

  The lighthouse never wavers though the waves rise and fall Somewhere past the window it is watching over all But you don't need a beacon to feel steady and small You have arms around you, softer than any wall

  Chorus

  Ciara, hush now, the whole wide world can wait Sleep is a soft harbour and you're already safe Nothing can reach you, not tonight, not ever late Ciara, you are held here, no need to be afraid

  Bridge

  Let the dark be gentle, let your breathing slow Every turning moment brings you closer to the glow Sleep and I will keep it, that quiet steady light

  Chorus

  Ciara, hush now, the whole wide world can wait Sleep is a soft harbour and you're already safe Nothing can reach you, not tonight, not ever late Ciara, you are held here, no need to be afraid

  Outro

  Somewhere far off still that slow light keeps its turning But closer than that, love, my heart keeps watch till morning
