  Verse 1

  Lace curtains lift and settle with a breath of cooler air Somewhere past that window the whole wide world grows still Nothing out there tonight could ever need your care Rest is all that's asked of you, and rest is all you will

  Chorus

  Peter, close your eyes now, let the quiet be your friend Nothing sweeter than this hour when the day lets go Peter, you're the reason soft light lingers till the end Sleep is coming gently now, and gently it will flow

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a curtain sways like something breathing in its sleep Cool air slips in quiet, never asking to be seen You are held here safer than a promise anyone could keep Wrapped in something warmer than the hush of in between

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the dark outside is only dark and nothing more Every small sound settles soft before it finds the door And sleep is standing near you now, closer than before

  Chorus

  Peter, close your eyes now, let the quiet be your friend Nothing sweeter than this hour when the day lets go Peter, you're the reason soft light lingers till the end Sleep is coming gently now, and gently it will flow

  Bridge

  Somewhere far the wind forgets to hurry anymore Here it only lifts the lace and lays it down once more

  Chorus

  Peter, close your eyes now, let the quiet be your friend Nothing sweeter than this hour when the day lets go Peter, you're the reason soft light lingers till the end Sleep is coming gently now, and gently it will flow

  Outro

  Let the curtain rest against the window, still and slow You are safe inside this quiet, and it's time to go

  Verse 1

  Snowlight drifts down past the window where you lie so still Falling soft and slow like feathers over the old windowsill Every flake that lands seems to hush the whole room down Nothing stirs tonight except your breath so calm and round

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a lamp is glowing gold across the wooden floor Painting warm little rivers by the foot of your bedroom door Sleep is coming closer now, soft as it's ever been

  Chorus

  Peter, the light is low and kind and made for you Close your eyes now, sweeter dreams are drifting through Peter, nothing in this whole wide world can do you harm You are held here, you are safe here, you are warm

  Verse 2

  Flakes are settling gently on the boards beside your bed Little patches of soft white by where you rest your head Outside the window everything has slowed to a hush Only your small breathing stirs the quiet in this rush

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a lamp is glowing gold across the wooden floor Painting warm little rivers by the foot of your bedroom door Sleep is coming closer now, soft as it's ever been

  Chorus

  Peter, the light is low and kind and made for you Close your eyes now, sweeter dreams are drifting through Peter, nothing in this whole wide world can do you harm You are held here, you are safe here, you are warm

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the whole night carry you along Wrapped in something gentler than any lullaby song

  Chorus

  Peter, the light is low and kind and made for you Close your eyes now, sweeter dreams are drifting through Peter, nothing in this whole wide world can do you harm You are held here, you are safe here, you are warm

  Outro

  Snow keeps falling soft where the lamplight starts to fade You are dreaming now, safe within the warmth it made

  Verse 1

  Green tomato vines are shivering soft in the dark earth tonight Beside the old wooden barrel where the water sleeps so still Everything outside has folded up its wings and gone to rest Nothing in this whole wide garden means you any ill

  Chorus

  Peter, Peter, close your eyes now, let the night be sweeter Every star has come to watch you drifting off to sleep You are held here, you are wanted, nothing needs to reach you Peter, in this quiet dark, there's nothing you must keep

  Verse 2

  The vines will wait until the morning, curled up safe and slow Just like you beneath the blankets, curled the very same way There is nothing in the shadows that could ever find you here And there is nothing that can carry all this warmth away

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the water barrel hold the moon a while Let your breathing find the rhythm of the rain upon the glass Something soft is gathering, waiting just to sing you home

  Chorus

  Peter, Peter, close your eyes now, let the night be sweeter Every star has come to watch you drifting off to sleep You are held here, you are wanted, nothing needs to reach you Peter, in this quiet dark, there's nothing you must keep

  Bridge

  No one measures how much you are loved, there is no meter Only this soft dark that wraps around you like a sleeve You don't have to hold on to a single thing but resting

  Chorus

  Peter, Peter, close your eyes now, let the night be sweeter Every star has come to watch you drifting off to sleep You are held here, you are wanted, nothing needs to reach you Peter, in this quiet dark, there's nothing you must keep

  Outro

  Somewhere the vines are dreaming green beside the sleeping barrel And you are dreaming softer still, held safe till morning comes
