  Verse 1

  Something golden is sliding slowly down the frosted pane tonight Watching over you while the whole house settles into rest Nothing out there can find you, nothing dims your quiet light You are curled up warm here, of every dream you're softly blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the hours are turning soft and slow around your head Little sighs and little breaths are all the sound this room will keep So let your small hands loosen and sink deeper in the bed

  Chorus

  Daniela, the night is holding you like something rare and small Every shadow bends its shape to shelter where you softly lie Sleep is stitched around you, Daniela, covering it all Nothing in this dark can touch the warmth of your closed eye

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window colours drift and settle out of sight You don't need to chase them, you can let them go so gently Whatever shines out there belongs to morning, not tonight Rest is yours entirely, given fully and intently

  Chorus

  Daniela, the night is holding you like something rare and small Every shadow bends its shape to shelter where you softly lie Sleep is stitched around you, Daniela, covering it all Nothing in this dark can touch the warmth of your closed eye

  Bridge

  Breathe in slow, and let the small light dim to amber near your bed Nobody needs waking, nothing calls you back from where you've gone

  Chorus

  Daniela, the night is holding you like something rare and small Every shadow bends its shape to shelter where you softly lie Sleep is stitched around you, Daniela, covering it all Nothing in this dark can touch the warmth of your closed eye

  Outro

  Somewhere the light keeps sliding gently down that frosted glass And you are already drifting, further than it ever needs to pass

  Verse 1

  Far off a train hums low along its metal track tonight and the dark glass windows tremble with the gentlest light but nothing in this whole wide world can reach where you lie wrapped up so warm beneath a soft and watching sky

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the rumble fade to nothing but a hum every worry of the day has quietly gone still and sleep is coming closer now, so soft and warm and slow

  Chorus

  Daniela, close your eyes, the night is holding you the whole wide dark is gentle and it loves you through and through Daniela, dream a while beneath the quiet stars you are the safest, softest place in all the world of ours

  Verse 2

  The window glass may rattle when the far train rolls on by but it only sings a lullaby to a peaceful sky and you are wrapped in blankets, in the hush and in the calm held here safe and steady in the curve of a loving arm

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the rumble fade to nothing but a hum every worry of the day has quietly gone still and sleep is coming closer now, so soft and warm and slow

  Chorus

  Daniela, close your eyes, the night is holding you the whole wide dark is gentle and it loves you through and through Daniela, dream a while beneath the quiet stars you are the safest, softest place in all the world of ours

  Bridge

  Somewhere a train is fading slowly into far and gone but here the quiet only deepens, soft as dawn you never have to wonder if you're loved and kept and known you are cherished in this stillness, never once alone

  Chorus

  Daniela, close your eyes, the night is holding you the whole wide dark is gentle and it loves you through and through Daniela, dream a while beneath the quiet stars you are the safest, softest place in all the world of ours

  Outro

  The glass has stilled, the far off track has hushed and gone quiet sleep now, Daniela, wrapped in calm and in the night

  Verse 1

  The tea towels are hanging so still by the humming fridge light Everything in this house has gone soft and gone slow Nothing needs doing now, nothing is asking for you Only this quiet, only the warmth we both know

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the humming carry you under Let the small sounds of the kitchen turn into a song There is nowhere you have to be but right here

  Chorus

  Daniela, the night is folding soft around you Sleep is a blanket that only gets kinder Nobody needs you to open your eyes now Daniela, rest easy, there's nothing you're missing

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a tap is dripping slow like it's counting you down to dreaming The fridge keeps humming low like it's holding its own steady tune You don't have to listen, you don't have to hold onto anything Just let your breathing slow till it matches the room

  Chorus

  Daniela, the night is folding soft around you Sleep is a blanket that only gets kinder Nobody needs you to open your eyes now Daniela, rest easy, there's nothing you're missing

  Bridge

  However far you drift, this kitchen will keep its light on You are held here so gently, you barely feel the weight

  Chorus

  Daniela, the night is folding soft around you Sleep is a blanket that only gets kinder Nobody needs you to open your eyes now Daniela, rest easy, there's nothing you're missing

  Outro

  The tea towels still hang white and quiet by the fridge's gentle hum Sleep now, Daniela, morning will come soft when it comes
