Lullabies for Pete

Verse 1

A small soft hum is drifting through the dark beside your bed It hums no words at all but somehow knows just what is best That gentle static hushes every worry from your head You breathe it in and settle deeper into peaceful rest

Pre-chorus

The hush is holding steady like a hand upon your chest No storm can reach you here where every corner has been checked So close your eyes now, let the quiet do the rest

Chorus

Pete, the whole wide night is folding soft around your sleep Nothing in this room will ever cause you harm or ache Every little sound is here to watch and gently keep Pete, you are the sweetest reason we stay wide awake

Verse 2

The speaker glows a little light so shadows lose their teeth Somewhere past the hallway, careful footsteps come and go You are wrapped in warmth that settles far beneath Nothing here will ever let the morning come too slow

Bridge

Hush now, let the static hum you further into rest We are only steps away, still listening for you Sleep can be as simple as a breath against your chest

Chorus

Pete, the whole wide night is folding soft around your sleep Nothing in this room will ever cause you harm or ache Every little sound is here to watch and gently keep Pete, you are the sweetest reason we stay wide awake

Outro

That small soft hum will hold its watch till morning finds you Sleep on, dear Pete, we are right here beside you

Verse 1

The candle burns so low and slow beside your wooden bed And wax runs down in quiet rivers, soft and warm and unhurried I watch the small flame settle gentle on its cotton seat And know that even shadows love the ground beneath your feet

Pre-chorus

The wick holds one small light against the dark and wide unknown And so my arms will hold you closer than I've ever shown So drift now while the whole wide house breathes slow around your bones

Chorus

Pete, my darling, close your eyes and let the night be sweet Nothing in this quiet room could ever make you fret Every star tonight has come so we could softly meet Sleep now, little Pete, your whole world safe and warm and set

Verse 2

The flame leans toward you like it wants to learn your name And every little flicker seems to hum a soft refrain No storm nor sound tonight will dare to reach this gentle street Only warmth and hush and you, curled up so safe and sweet

Bridge

Rest now, let the wax pool slow, let every worry drop away There's nothing you must carry now until the break of day

Chorus

Pete, my darling, close your eyes and let the night be sweet Nothing in this quiet room could ever make you fret Every star tonight has come so we could softly meet Sleep now, little Pete, your whole world safe and warm and set

Outro

The candle dims to nothing but the room stays soft and bright Sleep on, my Pete, held warm and close and whole tonight

Verse 1

Moonlight finds the bowl and rests there soft and slow I carry you past it while the whole house breathes Nothing needs to hurry now, no place we have to go Only you, this quiet, and the calm the darkness leaves

Chorus

Close your eyes now, Pete, the night is warm and deep Every corner of this house is holding you asleep Pete, my love, the world can wait outside the door You are held, you are safe, you are worth loving more

Verse 2

The kitchen settles into shadow, gentle and unhurried You are wrapped in blankets softer than the falling dark I watch the silver light lie still on something round and quiet And think of how you carry brightness like a spark

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the window the whole wide night is turning Slow and low, the hours are learning how to fall Hush now, little one, there is nothing you are missing

Chorus

Close your eyes now, Pete, the night is warm and deep Every corner of this house is holding you asleep Pete, my love, the world can wait outside the door You are held, you are safe, you are worth loving more

Bridge

Rain is counting time against the glass so gently Piano notes are falling soft as breath can be You are the reason this whole house feels like shelter

Chorus

Close your eyes now, Pete, the night is warm and deep Every corner of this house is holding you asleep Pete, my love, the world can wait outside the door You are held, you are safe, you are worth loving more

Outro

The moon still finds that bowl and leaves it gleaming quiet Sleep now, Pete, you are the light that this house keeps
