  Verse 1

  Somewhere down the hall a wooden clock is chiming soft and slow and every gentle sound it makes is one more sign you're safe to go the dark outside your window holds no reason left to fear because the ones who love you most are always near

  Pre-chorus

  The chime is fading out into the quiet of the room and every breath you take is pulling you toward sleep and moon so let your tired eyes grow heavy, let the night come creeping through

  Chorus

  Heidi, hush now, let the darkness hold you steady rest your head, the whole wide house is ready you are cherished more than any words could ever say Heidi, close your eyes and drift away

  Verse 2

  The little chime keeps counting out the minutes soft and slow it never rushes, never hurries, always gentle as it goes and just like that old steady clock you're loved through every hour held inside a warmth no dark could ever overpower

  Pre-chorus

  The chime is fading out into the quiet of the room and every breath you take is pulling you toward sleep and moon so let your tired eyes grow heavy, let the night come creeping through

  Chorus

  Heidi, hush now, let the darkness hold you steady rest your head, the whole wide house is ready you are cherished more than any words could ever say Heidi, close your eyes and drift away

  Bridge

  Nothing in the dark can touch the peace you carry now every worry melts away, you don't need to ask how you are wrapped in something warmer than the softest blanket knows

  Chorus

  Heidi, hush now, let the darkness hold you steady rest your head, the whole wide house is ready you are cherished more than any words could ever say Heidi, close your eyes and drift away

  Outro

  Somewhere down the hall that wooden clock still ticks along so slow sleep now, little one, and let its quiet rhythm carry you below

  Verse 1

  The wool fringe rests so heavy against your little shoe tonight Every step you took today is folded now and put away You carried all your wandering home before the fading light Let the small day close around you soft as fields of hay

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the lamp is low and nothing here will stir The dark outside has settled down to nothing but a hush So let the last of daylight go, you don't need to be sure

  Chorus

  Heidi, the night is holding you exactly where you are Nothing comes to trouble you, no journey, and no far You are the warmest thing this house has ever had to keep Heidi, let it carry you down gently into sleep

  Verse 2

  Somewhere your shoes are waiting quiet by the door till morning Nothing asks you to be ready, nothing asks you to be brave The house breathes slow around you, settling without a warning You are held here safer than a single candle in a cave

  Chorus

  Heidi, the night is holding you exactly where you are Nothing comes to trouble you, no journey, and no far You are the warmest thing this house has ever had to keep Heidi, let it carry you down gently into sleep

  Bridge

  Rest the weight of everything you carried, let it lay There's no clock to answer to before the break of day

  Chorus

  Heidi, the night is holding you exactly where you are Nothing comes to trouble you, no journey, and no far You are the warmest thing this house has ever had to keep Heidi, let it carry you down gently into sleep

  Outro

  Somewhere your small shoes are waiting, heavy fringe gone still and slow Sleep now, you are so loved here, more than you could ever know

  Verse 1

  The moon leans down to find you where you lie so still and warm I watch it slip across the grass and know you're safe from harm Somewhere a watering can holds nothing but the quiet night You breathe so soft beside me like a candle in a storm

  Chorus

  Heidi, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and slow Nothing in this whole wide house will let you go Heidi, you're the warmest thing this tired night could hold Rest here where the moonlight and the quiet grow

  Verse 2

  I saw the wet grass shining like it kept a secret just for you The plastic can beside it caught a drop of silver dew You are small and sleepy and the whole world waits for morning But tonight there's only softness, only me and only you

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the darkness wrap you gently like a blanket Every star tonight is quietly on watch above your bed So let your breathing slow and let your busy thoughts be quiet

  Chorus

  Heidi, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and slow Nothing in this whole wide house will let you go Heidi, you're the warmest thing this tired night could hold Rest here where the moonlight and the quiet grow

  Bridge

  You don't have to hold on tight to anything but sleep I'll keep the small and quiet hours while you dream so deep

  Chorus

  Heidi, close your eyes now, let the dark be soft and slow Nothing in this whole wide house will let you go Heidi, you're the warmest thing this tired night could hold Rest here where the moonlight and the quiet grow

  Outro

  The grass will still be silver when the morning comes to find you And I'll still be right beside you, just the way I always do
