  Verse 1

  Wooden chair, keep on rocking soft and low Cradling all the warmth I want you to know Bare old floorboards humming underneath our feet Holding you close while the whole wide world's asleep

  Pre-chorus

  Every creak is saying you are safe tonight Darkness holds no worry, only quiet light Close your eyes now, let the hush pull you in tight

  Chorus

  Esther, Esther, rest your head on me Nothing in this night could ever harm or hinder thee Wrapped in warmth as soft as any song can render Sleep now, Esther, small and safe and tender

  Verse 2

  Shadows soften into shapes of gentle grey Nothing here to fear when morning's far away Slowly the chair keeps its steady, patient beat Rocking out the day until your dreams feel sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Every creak is saying you are safe tonight Darkness holds no worry, only quiet light Close your eyes now, let the hush pull you in tight

  Chorus

  Esther, Esther, rest your head on me Nothing in this night could ever harm or hinder thee Wrapped in warmth as soft as any song can render Sleep now, Esther, small and safe and tender

  Bridge

  Hush now, nothing stirs beyond this quiet room Only love keeps watch here in the gentle gloom

  Chorus

  Esther, Esther, rest your head on me Nothing in this night could ever harm or hinder thee Wrapped in warmth as soft as any song can render Sleep now, Esther, small and safe and tender

  Outro

  Let the old chair rock till every worry's gone Sleep now, Esther, safe and warm till dawn

  Verse 1

  Big soft snowflakes are landing outside on the glass tonight Quiet as breathing, they gather and settle and stay Nothing can touch you while you are held here so tight You are the warmest and safest thing under this roof, in every way

  Pre-chorus

  The dark outside the window can never come creeping in here Every hush of falling snow is a promise drawing near So let your eyes grow heavy now, there is nothing at all to fear

  Chorus

  Esther, Esther, close your eyes and rest here The whole wide night is holding still just for you Nothing in the dark outside can ever be sterner Than the love that's wrapped around you, Esther, through and through

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass the whole world is turning slow and white Every flake is falling gently with no place to be You don't need to know the shape of the coming light Just sleep, and let tomorrow arrive quietly

  Chorus

  Esther, Esther, close your eyes and rest here The whole wide night is holding still just for you Nothing in the dark outside can ever be sterner Than the love that's wrapped around you, Esther, through and through

  Bridge

  Every snowflake finds its way down without a single sound And every breath you take tonight is safe and sure and found

  Chorus

  Esther, Esther, close your eyes and rest here The whole wide night is holding still just for you Nothing in the dark outside can ever be sterner Than the love that's wrapped around you, Esther, through and through

  Outro

  The snow keeps falling softly on the window, hushed and slow Sleep now, little Esther, you are held wherever you go

  Verse 1

  The white curtain lifts on the breath of the hall and settles again like it heard itself fall nothing stirs further, the house holds so still Esther, I'm watching you through it all

  Pre-chorus

  The dark isn't empty, it's soft as a glove hushing the edges of everything above and under the quiet there's only just love

  Chorus

  Esther, the night has its arms around you close every door that the daylight came through sleep is a river with nowhere to go Esther, I'll stay till the morning breaks through

  Verse 2

  The hallway breathes slow with its one paper door a whisper of air on the cool wooden floor nothing can reach you, not shadow, not sound only my voice keeping watch evermore

  Chorus

  Esther, the night has its arms around you close every door that the daylight came through sleep is a river with nowhere to go Esther, I'll stay till the morning breaks through

  Bridge

  Rest now, the house has grown gentle and slow every small sound has been told it must go you are the calm that the whole night is for

  Chorus

  Esther, the night has its arms around you close every door that the daylight came through sleep is a river with nowhere to go Esther, I'll stay till the morning breaks through

  Outro

  The curtain falls still as the hallway grows dim and I will be here when the morning slips in
