  Verse 1

  The hallway keeps a little light for you alone tonight It slips beneath the wooden door in one thin golden line Rick, you never have to wonder if the house is still awake Close your eyes and let that gentle brightness hold your place

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in this room can reach you, nothing needs to try Every shadow here is soft and means you no goodbye So let the quiet settle now and carry you inside

  Chorus

  Rick, my Rick, the light is watching over you Rick, you're held by everything this house can do Sleep is safe and morning always finds its way back in Rest now, little Rick, let the soft night begin

  Verse 2

  The door stays open just a crack so nothing feels too far You are never on your own beneath this quiet star Rick, the floor remembers every step that brought you here Nothing in the dark tonight is anything to fear

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in this room can reach you, nothing needs to try Every shadow here is soft and means you no goodbye So let the quiet settle now and carry you inside

  Chorus

  Rick, my Rick, the light is watching over you Rick, you're held by everything this house can do Sleep is safe and morning always finds its way back in Rest now, little Rick, let the soft night begin

  Bridge

  Somewhere past that thin bright seam, the whole house breathes for you Holding still so nothing wakes you, keeping watch till morning's due

  Chorus

  Rick, my Rick, the light is watching over you Rick, you're held by everything this house can do Sleep is safe and morning always finds its way back in Rest now, little Rick, let the soft night begin

  Outro

  The hallway light will stay right there, still glowing soft and true Sleep now, Rick, the whole night long belongs to you

  Verse 1

  A small white flame is bowing down its head tonight Melting slow into the brass, so calm, so quiet and light You breathe beside me soft as smoke that curls and clears Everything about this room has settled into you and me

  Chorus

  Rick, the wax is sinking low and easy on the shelf Rick, your eyes are heavy now, so let them close themselves Nothing in this house tonight is asking you for more Rest here, Rick, there's nowhere else that you should be at all

  Verse 2

  Watch the little pool of light go soft around its edges Warm and slow, it pours itself in gold along the ledges You are held the very same way by this quiet room Nothing hurries here, my love, nothing needs to move

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how quiet the whole wide house has grown around your head Feel how heavy sleep is pulling gently at your little hands Close your eyes now, let the dark come soft as bread

  Chorus

  Rick, the wax is sinking low and easy on the shelf Rick, your eyes are heavy now, so let them close themselves Nothing in this house tonight is asking you for more Rest here, Rick, there's nowhere else that you should be at all

  Bridge

  Down and down the small flame goes, so patient and so slow You are safe as any light that ever learned to glow Nothing that you carry now is heavy, none at all

  Chorus

  Rick, the wax is sinking low and easy on the shelf Rick, your eyes are heavy now, so let them close themselves Nothing in this house tonight is asking you for more Rest here, Rick, there's nowhere else that you should be at all

  Outro

  Somewhere on the mantel now a small light settles still Sleep the same way, love, and know that you always will

  Verse 1

  Dust turns slowly in the light along the hallway floor Drifting easy, in no hurry, going nowhere at all Just like you, wrapped up warm and needing nothing more Safe inside these walls, held closer than the fall

  Pre-chorus

  The hush is settling soft around this quiet room Every breath of yours is slowing like the fading afternoon And the dark outside is gentle, it will keep you soon

  Chorus

  Rick, the night is holding you the way I always will Close your eyes, the world can wait beyond this windowsill Rick, you are the warmest thing this house has ever held Sleep now, little one, let every worry melt

  Verse 2

  The lamp outside throws one long beam across the floor It touches nothing else but finds its way beneath the door Like the love that finds you even when I say no more It settles where you rest, the way it did before

  Pre-chorus

  The hush is settling soft around this quiet room Every breath of yours is slowing like the fading afternoon And the dark outside is gentle, it will keep you soon

  Chorus

  Rick, the night is holding you the way I always will Close your eyes, the world can wait beyond this windowsill Rick, you are the warmest thing this house has ever held Sleep now, little one, let every worry melt

  Bridge

  Nothing in this house can reach you now Only quiet, only breath, only calm somehow

  Chorus

  Rick, the night is holding you the way I always will Close your eyes, the world can wait beyond this windowsill Rick, you are the warmest thing this house has ever held Sleep now, little one, let every worry melt

  Outro

  The light still drifts along the hallway, soft and slow Sleep on, and know I'm watching over you, just so
