[female vocal]
[Intro]
( fingertips brushing the mic...... )
( slow breath...... )
(shh...... )
[Verse 1]
The world outside
Has gone to sleep
Streetlights hum
A quiet tune
I lean closer
To the glass
And whisper words
Meant only for you
[Verse 2]
Velvet on skin
Feathers in air
Slow tapping sounds
Like distant rain
I build a small room
Out of silence
Where your thoughts
Can drift away
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to
Say a thing
Just let the quiet
Hold you here
[Chorus]
Softly, softly
To your ear
I'll speak in colors
You can't see
Like moonlight on
A sleeping lake
Like petals falling
From a tree
Softly, softly
Stay right here
There's nothing else
You need to be
[Interlude]
( gentle scratching...... like wool...... )
( exhale...... long and slow...... )
[Verse 3]
My voice is just
A blanket now
Woven thin
From breath and care
It wraps around
Your tired mind
And holds it safe
Until you're there
[Bridge]
Somewhere between
Awake and dreaming
Where words dissolve
And time stands still
I'll meet you there
Without a sound
And let the stillness
Have its will
[Final Chorus]
Softly, softly
To your ear
I'll keep you company
Tonight
No need to reach
No need to hold
Just close your eyes
And feel the quiet
[Outro]
( breathing slows...... )
( rain in the distance...... )
Goodnight......
Goodnight......
(shh......)
