  Verse 1

  The house has gone quiet and the hallway holds its breath One coat on the hook is the only thing that's left Everything is settled, everything is still You are the warmest thing in this house until

  Pre-chorus

  The dark outside the window is soft and far away Nothing here will wake you before the light of day So let your small hands rest now and drift where dreams will go

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, the night is holding you tight Nothing can find you, you're wrapped up in the light Close now, Henry, let your breathing grow slow Wherever sleep takes you, it's gentle when you go

  Verse 2

  The corridor is narrow but the love in it is wide One small lamp is burning low beside your side Somewhere past the doorway the whole wide world can wait You are held here softly, you have nowhere you need to be

  Pre-chorus

  The dark outside the window is soft and far away Nothing here will wake you before the light of day So let your small hands rest now and drift where dreams will go

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, the night is holding you tight Nothing can find you, you're wrapped up in the light Close now, Henry, let your breathing grow slow Wherever sleep takes you, it's gentle when you go

  Bridge

  Every hook and every shadow keeps its quiet watch tonight Nothing moves but sleep now, easing you from light

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, the night is holding you tight Nothing can find you, you're wrapped up in the light Close now, Henry, let your breathing grow slow Wherever sleep takes you, it's gentle when you go

  Outro

  The coat still hangs there, waiting for the morning light Sleep now, Henry, you are safe with us tonight

  Verse 1

  The lamp is turned down low and the book is lying still One page left open where the story paused for you Nothing in the house is asking anything tonight Close your eyes now, there is nowhere else you need to be

  Pre-chorus

  Every little sound outside has settled into rain Somewhere past the window all the hurry drains away And here inside these walls you're held and warm again

  Chorus

  Henry, hush now, let the quiet carry you There isn't anything you have to say or do Rest your head, my Henry, that is plenty The dark is only soft, it comes to hold you too

  Verse 2

  You don't have to finish what the story never said Whatever waits tomorrow can wait outside the door Feel how heavy your small hands have grown with sleep You are the safest thing this whole house holds

  Chorus

  Henry, hush now, let the quiet carry you There isn't anything you have to say or do Rest your head, my Henry, that is plenty The dark is only soft, it comes to hold you too

  Bridge

  Rain keeps time along the glass, so slow, so slow Somewhere a piano hums the tune you already know

  Chorus

  Henry, hush now, let the quiet carry you There isn't anything you have to say or do Rest your head, my Henry, that is plenty The dark is only soft, it comes to hold you too

  Outro

  The lamp burns low and low until it's only glow Sleep now, the book will still be open when you wake

  Verse 1

  A little torch is glowing soft beneath the duvet's fold Your small companion rests here, tucked in close against your arm Every corner of this bed is warm and safe to hold Nothing in the whole wide night can reach you or bring harm

  Pre-chorus

  The house is settling gently, every sound has drifted low Your eyes are growing heavy though you're fighting it again So let the quiet carry you to where you need to go

  Chorus

  Henry, close your eyes now, let the day float far away You are held here, you are wanted, more than words can ever say Henry, drift off slowly, there is nowhere else to be Sleep will come so gently, and I'll still be here for thee

  Verse 2

  That tiny light beneath the covers keeps the dark at bay Your little friend is watching over you the whole night through Nothing here will hurry you or ask you to be brave You can simply rest now, that is all you need to do

  Pre-chorus

  The house is settling gently, every sound has drifted low Your eyes are growing heavy though you're fighting it again So let the quiet carry you to where you need to go

  Chorus

  Henry, close your eyes now, let the day float far away You are held here, you are wanted, more than words can ever say Henry, drift off slowly, there is nowhere else to be Sleep will come so gently, and I'll still be here for thee

  Bridge

  Whatever waits tomorrow, it can wait a little more You are loved beyond the counting, safe behind this quiet door

  Chorus

  Henry, close your eyes now, let the day float far away You are held here, you are wanted, more than words can ever say Henry, drift off slowly, there is nowhere else to be Sleep will come so gently, and I'll still be here for thee

  Outro

  The little torch grows dimmer as your breathing settles deep Sleep well, small one, safe and steady, all the way through sleep
