  Verse 1

  Close your eyes now, let the evening settle soft around you Lights slide slowly, painting gold across the quiet air Nothing here can reach you, nothing here will ever hound you Rest inside this rocking calm, so easy, free of care

  Chorus

  Wyatt, hush now, let the whole wide world grow still Riding gentle on the rhythm of my heartbeat's steady rhyme Wyatt, nothing in this night was ever built to spill Sleep is only love, dressed up and given time

  Verse 2

  Watch the amber wash and wander, drifting slow above your head Warm as any hand that ever chose to hold you near Every little shadow bends to soften round your bed Sleep will carry all you are and keep it here

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the seat creak low beneath this rocking, easy weight Feel how far away the morning waits before it comes So let your breathing slow and drift, there's no need to wait

  Chorus

  Wyatt, hush now, let the whole wide world grow still Riding gentle on the rhythm of my heartbeat's steady rhyme Wyatt, nothing in this night was ever built to spill Sleep is only love, dressed up and given time

  Bridge

  You are held here, safe as anything can be Wrapped in warmth that never once will let you fall Rest now, little one, and let the night be kind to thee

  Chorus

  Wyatt, hush now, let the whole wide world grow still Riding gentle on the rhythm of my heartbeat's steady rhyme Wyatt, nothing in this night was ever built to spill Sleep is only love, dressed up and given time

  Outro

  Sleep now, while the golden light slides soft above your head Rest easy, love will rock you gently to your bed

  Verse 1

  A thin stripe of light lies flat beneath the door tonight Waiting there so softly, patient, calm and warm and bright Close your eyes now, let the house go quiet around your head Nothing in the dark can reach you, safe here in your bed

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the whole house settles into its own hush Even shadows in the corner slow their steady rush Somewhere just beyond your window, sleep is calling soft and low

  Chorus

  Wyatt, hush now, let the quiet wrap around you tight Nobody could love you more than we do here tonight Rest your small hand open, let the worry drift and go Wyatt, you are held here, safer than you'll ever know

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the hallway, footsteps soften, then they still Every little sound tonight is gentle, none can spill You are wrapped in blankets warmer than the summer sun Dream a while of running fields when all the day is done

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the whole house settles into its own hush Even shadows in the corner slow their steady rush Somewhere just beyond your window, sleep is calling soft and low

  Chorus

  Wyatt, hush now, let the quiet wrap around you tight Nobody could love you more than we do here tonight Rest your small hand open, let the worry drift and go Wyatt, you are held here, safer than you'll ever know

  Bridge

  Long after you're asleep we'll still be watching over you Counting all the ways this small quiet room loves you too

  Chorus

  Wyatt, hush now, let the quiet wrap around you tight Nobody could love you more than we do here tonight Rest your small hand open, let the worry drift and go Wyatt, you are held here, safer than you'll ever know

  Outro

  That thin stripe of light will still be glowing when you wake Watching over you all night for love's own gentle sake

  Verse 1

  Down where the river folds itself so slow and small reeds lean and listen for the hush before the fall water keeps the bridge's shadow safe and still you are the softest thing that I love best of all

  Chorus

  Wyatt, my quiet one, sleep is calling low and sweet hush now, Wyatt, let the whole wide night sit at your feet close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be brave you are held here gentle, Wyatt, warm from head to feet

  Verse 2

  Painted boards beneath the bridge are worn but holding fast nothing in this dark will ever move too fast you can rest against the calm that this old river keeps every worry of the day has quietly gone past

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the reeds the current hums a lower tune breathe it in and let your tiny hands unclench and swoon sleep is drifting closer now like light beneath the moon

  Chorus

  Wyatt, my quiet one, sleep is calling low and sweet hush now, Wyatt, let the whole wide night sit at your feet close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be brave you are held here gentle, Wyatt, warm from head to feet

  Bridge

  Nothing here will wake before the morning finds its light you are safe as still water folded soft in night

  Chorus

  Wyatt, my quiet one, sleep is calling low and sweet hush now, Wyatt, let the whole wide night sit at your feet close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be brave you are held here gentle, Wyatt, warm from head to feet

  Outro

  Let the reeds go on brushing soft against the grey you are loved and you are sleeping, drifting far away
