  Verse 1

  Softly the old chair rocks you gently into the dark Dust drifts like tiny stars above the wooden floor Somewhere a clock breathes slow beside the door Nothing tonight can reach you, nothing can leave a mark

  Chorus

  Lyla, the night is holding you soft and low Down where the quiet settles, that's where you go Rain on the window humming a gentle line Lyla, you're safe here, you were always mine

  Verse 2

  Weave of the cane keeps time with your sleepy breath Shadows lie down easy along the floor Somewhere a candle dims by the wooden door Even the dark tonight feels kind, not like a threat

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the hours are turning soft as thread Every worry has folded and gone to bed Lean in close now, here's where the quiet starts

  Chorus

  Lyla, the night is holding you soft and low Down where the quiet settles, that's where you go Rain on the window humming a gentle line Lyla, you're safe here, you were always mine

  Bridge

  Sleep now, nothing will wake before you do Every creak of the chair says I love you

  Chorus

  Lyla, the night is holding you soft and low Down where the quiet settles, that's where you go Rain on the window humming a gentle line Lyla, you're safe here, you were always mine

  Outro

  Dust still drifts slow where the old chair stood Sleep now, Lyla, everything is good

  Verse 1

  Far away wheels are clicking soft along the frozen line Their sound comes small and gentle through the window pane Ice is drawing quiet patterns while you rest so fine Nothing out there in the dark can touch you again

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the night pull its blanket round Every sound outside is turning into a hush Softer now, softer still, until there's barely a sound

  Chorus

  Lyla, the whole wide world can wait till morning light Warm in this room where nothing can bring you harm You are the reason this house feels golden tonight Lyla, you rest so safe and calm in my arms

  Verse 2

  The frost keeps climbing slowly up the window glass Painting its small white feathers while you drift so deep Distant wheels are humming as the night wind passes You are held here gently all the way to sleep

  Chorus

  Lyla, the whole wide world can wait till morning light Warm in this room where nothing can bring you harm You are the reason this house feels golden tonight Lyla, you rest so safe and calm in my arms

  Bridge

  Let the tracks fade further, let the sound grow thin There is nowhere kinder than this quiet room Everything outside stays outside, safe within

  Chorus

  Lyla, the whole wide world can wait till morning light Warm in this room where nothing can bring you harm You are the reason this house feels golden tonight Lyla, you rest so safe and calm in my arms

  Outro

  Somewhere far off, the last small wheel clicks and is still The frost keeps watch while you sleep on, safe and warm

  Verse 1

  One small yellow light is glowing soft above the hall and the old walls wear their flowers, dim and small every shadow in this house is turning kind tonight because you are the reason it feels safe and right

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay let the whole wide house breathe you gently far away there is nothing you need carry, nothing you must find

  Chorus

  Lyla, Lyla, hush now, sleep is calling low softer than the hallway light, softer than the snow you are held here, you are wanted, you are warm and near Lyla, nothing in the dark can ever touch you here

  Verse 2

  Down the narrow corridor the bulb still glows the same watching over you as sleep comes calling out your name every pattern on the paper folds you in its glow keeping watch the whole night through, so soft and slow

  Bridge

  Rest your head, the night has nowhere else to be nothing here will wake before you're ready to be free let the light outside your door keep humming low and true it only glows because it loves the shape of you

  Chorus

  Lyla, Lyla, hush now, sleep is calling low softer than the hallway light, softer than the snow you are held here, you are wanted, you are warm and near Lyla, nothing in the dark can ever touch you here

  Outro

  The little light will burn on gently till the morning comes watching over you the way it always has, my love
