  Verse 1

  Branches sway above you, painted soft in silver light drawing slow and gentle patterns through the quiet night you are wrapped in warmth where nothing sharp can reach safe inside the hush before the dark can teach you fear

  Chorus

  Oscar, close your eyes now, let the shadows dance alone you are held here always, you are never on your own Oscar, drift off gently, let the rain outside sing low nothing in this room will let the little light go

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window trees are bending in the breeze but here inside the covers you can rest with perfect ease every moving shadow is a friend and not a foe watching while you settle into sleep so soft and slow

  Pre-chorus

  Rain is tapping softly on the glass beside your head piano notes are falling like a blanket on the bed hold that feeling closer as the quiet pulls you in

  Chorus

  Oscar, close your eyes now, let the shadows dance alone you are held here always, you are never on your own Oscar, drift off gently, let the rain outside sing low nothing in this room will let the little light go

  Bridge

  Even when the branches seem to reach a little near know that you are cherished, know there's nothing here to fear sleep will carry you where all your dreams are kind and slow

  Chorus

  Oscar, close your eyes now, let the shadows dance alone you are held here always, you are never on your own Oscar, drift off gently, let the rain outside sing low nothing in this room will let the little light go

  Outro

  Moonlight keeps on falling, tracing branches overhead you are loved beyond all measure, gently sleeping in your bed

  Verse 1

  The kitchen is dark but for one small light on the counter The kettle sits cold and the whole house has gone quiet Somewhere beyond the window the last stars are climbing Everything settles the moment you're near, my love

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the day has folded itself soft and small I'll carry you up through the dim of the hallway And lay you down where the dark holds nothing but calm

  Chorus

  Oscar, my Oscar, the night belongs to you Nothing can touch you, nothing can follow you through Close your eyes now, let the quiet come near Oscar, you're held here, however far you'd go

  Verse 2

  The floor creaks once as I cross it soft in the shadows Your breathing slows like the hush after a long day I'll leave the small light burning low on the counter So morning finds its way back gently to you

  Bridge

  Sleep isn't far, it's only just past the window Warm as a blanket pulled up close round your shoulder

  Chorus

  Oscar, my Oscar, the night belongs to you Nothing can touch you, nothing can follow you through Close your eyes now, let the quiet come near Oscar, you're held here, however far you'd go

  Outro

  The kettle stays cold and the small light stays burning Sleep now, my Oscar, you're safe till the morning

  Verse 1

  Down the hallway the rug has gone quiet and still One small toy is waiting there for morning to come Everything soft has stopped moving now to rest Oscar, my love, the whole house breathes for you

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small hands unclench and your breathing grow slow Nothing tonight needs holding but the warmth of your bed Close your eyes and let the hush carry you home

  Chorus

  Oscar, the dark is only night wrapped soft around you Sleep now, and know how deeply you are adored You are the reason this house glows warm and quiet Oscar, you're held closer than a door that's locked to guard

  Verse 2

  Somewhere your shoes sit waiting by a coat too big for you Tomorrow will find them the moment you wake and stand Tonight though belongs to stillness and to sleeping You are the softest thing that this house understands

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small hands unclench and your breathing grow slow Nothing tonight needs holding but the warmth of your bed Close your eyes and let the hush carry you home

  Chorus

  Oscar, the dark is only night wrapped soft around you Sleep now, and know how deeply you are adored You are the reason this house glows warm and quiet Oscar, you're held closer than a door that's locked to guard

  Bridge

  Rest now, and let the quiet do its gentle work Every soft sound out there is only night settling in

  Chorus

  Oscar, the dark is only night wrapped soft around you Sleep now, and know how deeply you are adored You are the reason this house glows warm and quiet Oscar, you're held closer than a door that's locked to guard

  Outro

  Sleep now, and let the toy on the floor wait for you Morning will find you, safe as you were tonight
