[ Instrumental Intro]
[Soft acoustic fingerpicking with gentle piano chords, subtle strings entering by line 3]
---
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, the stars are near,
Drifting dreams are drawing near,
Shadows dance upon the wall,
Nighttime sings its quiet call.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Clouds go floating far above,
Wrapped in peace and wrapped in love,
Every breath a gentle sigh,
Held beneath a silver sky.
---
[Chorus]
Sleep, my darling, sleep so deep,
Fall into a velvet sleep,
Moonlight whispers through the air,
You are safe, I’ll always care.
---
[Verse 2 / Bridge]
Waves of night will come and go,
Like a soft and distant snow,
But in dreams, I’ll be with you,
Watching skies turn midnight blue.
---
[ Instrumental Outro]
[Reprise of intro melody, piano leads with echoing notes, fading strings lull to a gentle close]
