  Verse 1

  Amber light is spilling soft along the worn grey stair Every step you climbed today is folded now and still Close your eyes and let the hush come settle in your hair There is nothing you must carry, nothing left to fill

  Chorus

  Tammy, the light is low and the house has gone to rest Nobody in the whole wide world is held the way you're held Rest your small and tired head against the ones who love you best Tammy, sleep is calling soft, and all the day has spelled

  Verse 2

  Somewhere behind that painted door a warmth is standing guard Nothing can slip inside tonight to trouble where you lie You are the softest thing this house has ever had to guard So let the quiet gather round you like a lullaby

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how slow the whole house breathes around you now Every worry of the day has finally let you go Feel how the dark turns gentle when it learns your name somehow

  Chorus

  Tammy, the light is low and the house has gone to rest Nobody in the whole wide world is held the way you're held Rest your small and tired head against the ones who love you best Tammy, sleep is calling soft, and all the day has spelled

  Bridge

  Sleep now, you are wanted here, you always will be wanted Morning waits behind the dark to find you safe and warm

  Chorus

  Tammy, the light is low and the house has gone to rest Nobody in the whole wide world is held the way you're held Rest your small and tired head against the ones who love you best Tammy, sleep is calling soft, and all the day has spelled

  Outro

  The amber light still glows along the carpet worn and grey Sleep, little Tammy, love is watching till the light of day

  Verse 1

  The window wears a soft grey mist that blurs the light outside Orange lamps go drifting past like lanterns set to glide You watch them melt to gentle gold, then close your heavy eyes And I will stay right here with you until the morning sky

  Pre-chorus

  The glass is cool but you are warm beneath the blanket's fold Every breath you take tonight is safe and slow and slowed So let the little lights outside just rock you soft to

  Chorus

  Tammy, Tammy, close your eyes and drift away with me Nothing in this whole wide world could ever love you more, you'll see The night is only velvet dark, no reason to be clammy Rest your head and let it go, my darling little Tammy

  Verse 2

  A trail runs down the window pane, so slow it barely moves Like time itself has slowed right down to match the way you snooze Streetlights blink their steady glow, a rhythm soft and true And every single beat of it is only meant for you

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the misted glass the whole wide world sleeps too Every quiet corner of the dark belongs to you

  Chorus

  Tammy, Tammy, close your eyes and drift away with me Nothing in this whole wide world could ever love you more, you'll see The night is only velvet dark, no reason to be clammy Rest your head and let it go, my darling little Tammy

  Outro

  The window fogs, the lamps burn low, the whole street settles down And you are held here safe with me, the softest place around

  Verse 1

  A small flame settles low inside its little tin of gold Soft light is pooling warm the way that quiet stories are told You breathe beside me slower now than any breath before Sleep is coming gentle, easy, safe for you to hold

  Chorus

  Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin You are held so closely, closer than you know Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

  Verse 2

  Wax runs down so slowly, patient as a sleepy tide Every little worry has already gone outside You are wrapped in stillness, warmer than a summer noon Nothing in this room tonight has any need to hide

  Pre-chorus

  Watch the small light bending, easy, golden, low Feel your shoulders loosen, feel the day let go Something soft is calling, gentle, warm and slow

  Chorus

  Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin You are held so closely, closer than you know Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

  Bridge

  Whatever came before you, whatever waits ahead This moment holds you only, this quiet, this small bed You are loved beyond the counting, past what any words can show

  Chorus

  Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin You are held so closely, closer than you know Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

  Outro

  Down to almost nothing, the little flame burns true Sleep now, small and steady, the whole night keeps for you
