  Verse 1

  Rain is tapping softly on the dark like gentle fingers Branches sway above us while the quiet evening lingers You are wrapped up warm here, nothing here can touch you Every little breath you take, someone loves you truly

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the falling rain sing soft and low Nothing in this whole wide world can hurt you so Close your eyes and drift where warm and safe hearts go

  Chorus

  Dottie, Dottie, sleep is calling gentle and slow Somebody's watching over you wherever you go You are the softest, sweetest thing this house has known Dottie, my darling, you are never alone

  Verse 2

  Low branches lean in close like they are guarding your window Shadows on the ceiling move so quiet and so slow Nothing out there in the dark was ever built to scare you You are held together by the love that gathers near you

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the falling rain sing soft and low Nothing in this whole wide world can hurt you so Close your eyes and drift where warm and safe hearts go

  Chorus

  Dottie, Dottie, sleep is calling gentle and slow Somebody's watching over you wherever you go You are the softest, sweetest thing this house has known Dottie, my darling, you are never alone

  Bridge

  Let the rain keep tapping, let the branches sway Morning always finds its way back to us, come what may You are safe inside this small and quiet space

  Chorus

  Dottie, Dottie, sleep is calling gentle and slow Somebody's watching over you wherever you go You are the softest, sweetest thing this house has known Dottie, my darling, you are never alone

  Outro

  Rain will keep on falling soft while branches sway above you Sleep now, little Dottie, know how deeply you are loved

  Verse 1

  The thin linen lifts and falls across the wide wooden floor Midnight breathes so softly through the window by your bed You are held here safer than you've ever been before Every quiet corner of this house holds you instead

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the whole night is turning slow and low Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fall Close your eyes and feel how gently the hours go

  Chorus

  Dottie, the night is only wrapping you up tight Sleep finds you soft as linen moving in the air Nothing can touch you, Dottie, not tonight You are the one thing kept most carefully in my care

  Verse 2

  The floorboards hold their stillness while the curtain starts to sway Somewhere beyond the window the whole wide world slows down You do not need to carry one worry into day You are the softest, safest thing in this small town

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the whole night is turning slow and low Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fall Close your eyes and feel how gently the hours go

  Chorus

  Dottie, the night is only wrapping you up tight Sleep finds you soft as linen moving in the air Nothing can touch you, Dottie, not tonight You are the one thing kept most carefully in my care

  Bridge

  Let every breath you take grow longer, slower, deep Nothing tonight will ask you to be anything but you

  Chorus

  Dottie, the night is only wrapping you up tight Sleep finds you soft as linen moving in the air Nothing can touch you, Dottie, not tonight You are the one thing kept most carefully in my care

  Outro

  The linen settles still against the wide wooden floor Sleep well, you are so loved, and so much more

  Verse 1

  One small yellow bulb is glowing soft above the carpeted stairs tonight and all the drifting dust hangs still inside that warm and gentle light nothing in this house is rushing, nothing here will stir and you are held so safely here, my Dottie, wrapped up right

  Pre-chorus

  The hush is settling deeper now, the whole house breathing slow every worry of the day has somewhere small to go so close your eyes, my darling, let the quiet start to grow

  Chorus

  Dottie, Dottie, sleep is calling soft and low you are the warmest thing this tired house will ever know nobody needs to tell you twice how loved you are tonight Dottie, Dottie, let the whole wide world go slow

  Verse 2

  The stairs are quiet now, no little feet to climb them anymore just a golden hush that settles gently on the floor somewhere past the window the night is holding still for you and you can rest inside it, safe behind a closed old door

  Bridge

  Every breath you take tonight is one more breath I'm glad to hear nothing in the dark can touch you while I'm sitting near let the dust motes drift and settle, let the hours disappear you are not alone in any shadow, ever, dear

  Chorus

  Dottie, Dottie, sleep is calling soft and low you are the warmest thing this tired house will ever know nobody needs to tell you twice how loved you are tonight Dottie, Dottie, let the whole wide world go slow

  Outro

  That small yellow bulb will keep on glowing gently while you dream holding all the love this quiet house has ever seen
