  Verse 1

  Dew is gathering soft on the bean poles tonight Nothing stirs in the garden but starlight and quiet Somewhere an owl is folding its wings down to rest You are held here, safe, away from the light

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come and stay Every small sound is drifting so far away Sleep is rising slow, and it's carrying you

  Chorus

  Whitney, the night is holding you gentle and near Nothing can touch you, nothing to fear Kitty cats curl where the shadows run pretty Whitney, my love, there is nowhere but here

  Verse 2

  Silver is resting on every quiet green leaf Not one small creature is stirring or waking Warm is the dark, and it wraps you up whole You are the reason this hour feels so gentle

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come and stay Every small sound is drifting so far away Sleep is rising slow, and it's carrying you

  Chorus

  Whitney, the night is holding you gentle and near Nothing can touch you, nothing to fear Kitty cats curl where the shadows run pretty Whitney, my love, there is nowhere but here

  Bridge

  Rest now, and let the whole wide dark be kind Nothing but calm is following you down

  Chorus

  Whitney, the night is holding you gentle and near Nothing can touch you, nothing to fear Kitty cats curl where the shadows run pretty Whitney, my love, there is nowhere but here

  Outro

  Somewhere the dew still shines on the bean poles, waiting You are asleep now, safe, and the garden is dreaming

  Verse 1

  Frost is painting the branch outside your window white and slow While an owl sits waiting quiet in the cold night air Nothing out there can touch you, nothing needs to know You are folded in close where it's warm, where you're rare

  Chorus

  Whitney, the whole dark world can wait till morning light Rest your small hands and let your worries drop away You are the softest thing I've ever held so tight Whitney, my Whitney, sleep is calling, come and stay

  Verse 2

  The owl keeps its watch so you don't have to keep yours tonight Every shiver of frost is just the cold world settling down You are held in something steadier than any streetlamp light Wrapped up safe while stillness spreads its quiet through the town

  Pre-chorus

  Let your breathing slow to match the hush outside the glass Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing here will pass You are closer to the morning than you think, so

  Chorus

  Whitney, the whole dark world can wait till morning light Rest your small hands and let your worries drop away You are the softest thing I've ever held so tight Whitney, my Whitney, sleep is calling, come and stay

  Bridge

  Sleep now, and let the frost keep its silent, patient hold You don't need to understand the cold to be kept from it Somewhere out there the branch is turning silver, turning gold You are warmer than the whole wide winter, every bit

  Chorus

  Whitney, the whole dark world can wait till morning light Rest your small hands and let your worries drop away You are the softest thing I've ever held so tight Whitney, my Whitney, sleep is calling, come and stay

  Outro

  The frost will still be there when you wake up, bright and new And I'll still be right here, exactly where I was with you

  Verse 1

  A candle bends its head down low and slow tonight Wax gathers soft and quiet in the fading light Nothing in this room will ever come to harm Sleep now in the hush, you're circled safe and warm

  Chorus

  Whitney, close your eyes and let the dark be kind Rest inside the calm that we have made to hold your mind Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to roam Whitney, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Verse 2

  An empty little cot was waiting here for you to come Now it holds the softest breathing underneath the hum Every little shadow bows and settles at your feet Drift here where the whole wide night turns simple, slow, and sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Watch how gently one small flame can hold the whole room still Feel how love keeps burning low, however dark it will Let that quiet ember carry you to where you're headed

  Chorus

  Whitney, close your eyes and let the dark be kind Rest inside the calm that we have made to hold your mind Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to roam Whitney, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Bridge

  Even when the little flame has finally burned to nothing Warmth will stay behind it, soft and slow and trusting You were never meant to face the night alone

  Chorus

  Whitney, close your eyes and let the dark be kind Rest inside the calm that we have made to hold your mind Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to roam Whitney, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Outro

  Wax has settled soft and still where one small flame has gone Sleep on, love is what stays lit when every light goes on
