  Verse 1

  Outside the window the old elm is swaying so slowly tonight Its branches draw shadows that move on the wall soft and slow You watch them go by with your eyes growing heavy with light Curled up in the warmth of a room that has nowhere to go

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there means you any harm while you sleep Every shadow that moves is just night saying goodnight Close your eyes now and let the whole house grow deep

  Chorus

  Julia, the branches are swaying you into your dreams Somewhere so soft that the dark cannot ever feel cold You are the warmest thing under these yellow lamplit beams Julia, you're held here more gently than words could be told

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a wind moves the elm tree and nothing else stirs Only your breath and the hush that comes after a song Nobody needs you to open your eyes or your ears Rest is the safest and quietest place you belong

  Bridge

  Let every branch on the wall rock you down, rock you slow Sleep is a shore and you're drifting so easy to reach

  Chorus

  Julia, the branches are swaying you into your dreams Somewhere so soft that the dark cannot ever feel cold You are the warmest thing under these yellow lamplit beams Julia, you're held here more gently than words could be told

  Outro

  The elm keeps on swaying its shadows across the warm wall And you are asleep now, the safest, the smallest of all

  Verse 1

  The steam is rising slow above the water by the brass tap Curling up so softly like it's tired and wants to nap Warm and hushed, the whole wide room is holding still for you Everything tonight has settled into one long, gentle wrap

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the warmth of this quiet minute stay Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you far away Let the last light of the day just softly drift and sway

  Chorus

  Julia, my love, the night is holding you so near Every little breath you take is safe and clear You are the calmest song this house has ever known Julia, there is nothing in this dark to fear

  Verse 2

  The water settles quiet now, the ripples learning to be still Somewhere past the window sleepy stars begin to spill You are wrapped in something warmer than a blanket ever could be Safe inside the hush that only bedtime seems to fill

  Chorus

  Julia, my love, the night is holding you so near Every little breath you take is safe and clear You are the calmest song this house has ever known Julia, there is nothing in this dark to fear

  Bridge

  Sleep is just a small boat drifting easy on the tide Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to hide You can let the whole wide world go quiet at your side

  Chorus

  Julia, my love, the night is holding you so near Every little breath you take is safe and clear You are the calmest song this house has ever known Julia, there is nothing in this dark to fear

  Outro

  The steam has settled now to nothing but a gentle hush Sleep has found you softly, and the whole house feels the hush

  Verse 1

  Look how the streetlamps turn the snowflakes into gold as they fall Soft through the window, safe on the other side of the glass Nothing tonight can reach you now, nothing at all The whole cold world can wait outside while these quiet moments pass

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush of evening pull you deep There is nowhere warmer than this small and steady place Nowhere you're held so gently as you drift toward sleep

  Chorus

  Julia, the snow falls soft and slow tonight You are the warmest thing in all this light Julia, cerulean shadows on the wall Sleep now, you are loved by all

  Verse 2

  Every flake outside is drifting down without a single sound While you are wrapped up warm where nothing cold can ever creep The glass keeps the whole wide winter safely bound So rest here easy, Julia, and let the night be deep

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush of evening pull you deep There is nowhere warmer than this small and steady place Nowhere you're held so gently as you drift toward sleep

  Chorus

  Julia, the snow falls soft and slow tonight You are the warmest thing in all this light Julia, cerulean shadows on the wall Sleep now, you are loved by all

  Bridge

  Somewhere far off a streetlamp hums its low and orange song And here you rest, so certain that you belong

  Chorus

  Julia, the snow falls soft and slow tonight You are the warmest thing in all this light Julia, cerulean shadows on the wall Sleep now, you are loved by all

  Outro

  The lamps will keep on glowing gold behind the frosted glass And you'll sleep safe and warm until this quiet night has passed
