Now the whole room's on its feet Somebody hit the beat We been waiting all day for this

Myla, light the candles now Sing it loud, sing it true Myla, this is your day Heaven's smiling down on you

A box slides across the table Somebody's calling out your name Candles waiting for their moment You always light up the room the same

You laugh loud and fill the kitchen Every face turns towards your glow Something in you keeps on rising You're the warmth this house should know

Verse 1

Dust is floating soft in the last light of day Wool threads catching gold before the dark begins Close your eyes now, let the evening have its way Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing wins

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the hours are turning slow and kind Breathe with me and let the day unwind Sleep is waiting gentle, just behind

Chorus

Myla, you are held here, safe and warm Nothing in the dark can bring you harm Myla, sleep is calling soft and low You are loved here more than you could know

Verse 2

Shadows on the wall are only friends at rest Quiet settles round you like a well loved coat Every little breath you take is doing its best Drifting now, you're carried like a paper boat

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the hours are turning slow and kind Breathe with me and let the day unwind Sleep is waiting gentle, just behind

Chorus

Myla, you are held here, safe and warm Nothing in the dark can bring you harm Myla, sleep is calling soft and low You are loved here more than you could know

Rest your small hands, let them fall so still Nobody could love you more, nobody ever will

Myla, you are held here, safe and warm Nothing in the dark can bring you harm Myla, sleep is calling soft and low You are loved here more than you could know

Outro

Dust and light are settling soft where you lie Sleep now, Myla, under this same quiet sky

Verse 1

A small red candle leans and lets its warmth run slow and sweet You watch it drip in silence like a hush upon your face Softly the wax pools golden, curling gently at your feet Nothing in this quiet room could ever leave a single trace

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the glow sink low and settle deep Every flicker folds to stillness, every worry starts to fade Hold this warmth a moment longer as you drift to sleep

Chorus

Myla, you're the light that never has to hurry Melting soft into the dark without a single fear Nothing here will ever make you rush or worry Sleep now, Myla, you are safe and you are near

Verse 2

You breathe the way the small flame breathes, so steady and so slow Wrapped in shadows soft as blankets, warm from head to toe Sleep is pooling round you gently, quiet as the falling snow Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing that you need to know

Chorus

Myla, you're the light that never has to hurry Melting soft into the dark without a single fear Nothing here will ever make you rush or worry Sleep now, Myla, you are safe and you are near

Bridge

Rest inside this circle of a warmth that never ends Let the small flame watch you while the whole wide night attends

Chorus

Myla, you're the light that never has to hurry Melting soft into the dark without a single fear Nothing here will ever make you rush or worry Sleep now, Myla, you are safe and you are near

Outro

The candle settles low and soft, its glow grown small and slow You settle too now, Myla, safe in all this quiet glow

Verse 1

White cotton shifts so softly at the window near your bed Nothing in this room would ever wake you or bring dread Curtains lift and settle like a breath let slowly go Somewhere far off gently, a lullaby is said

Chorus

Myla, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still Rest inside the quiet that no worry ever fills Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you like a hand Myla, you are held here, and you always will

Verse 2

Moonlight finds the cotton and it turns it soft and pale Every little shadow in this room is on your side Warmth is folded round you like a well kept secret told Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to hide

Pre-chorus

Feel how slow the curtain breathes against the frame Nothing in the dark tonight will ever learn your name Let that gentle rhythm carry you to where

Chorus

Myla, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still Rest inside the quiet that no worry ever fills Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you like a hand Myla, you are held here, and you always will

Bridge

Somewhere past the window, morning waits its turn You don't need to reach it, you don't need to learn Stay a while in stillness, stay a while in white Let the cloth keep drifting through the calm of night

Chorus

Myla, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still Rest inside the quiet that no worry ever fills Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you like a hand Myla, you are held here, and you always will

Outro

White cotton still is moving where the open window stands Sleep now, you are gathered gently into steady hands
