April Stars

[Verse 1]
Tiny socks all folded
Waiting by the door
Two small cribs
Two blankets on the floor
April rain is humming through the glass
Grandma’s here
The evening drifting past
[Chorus]
Sleep
My April stars
Two bright hearts in my arms
Close your eyes
The night is ours
Drift away
My April stars
[Verse 2]
One small yawn
A second on its way
Two soft hands will learn to hold the day
I’ll tell stories till the room feels small
Just our breaths and shadows on the wall
[Chorus]
Sleep
My April stars
Two bright hearts in my arms
Close your eyes
The night is ours
Drift away
My April stars
[Bridge]
If you wake and can’t find me
Just listen for this song
I’ll be right beside you
Rocking all night long (mm-hmm)
[Chorus]
Sleep
My April stars
Two bright hearts in my arms
Close your eyes
The night is ours
Drift away
My April stars
Drift away
My April stars

Gentle lullaby waltz in 3/4, soft piano and nylon guitar, brushed snare swells and warm upright bass. Male vocals in a tender, close-mic tone, hushed harmonies on the chorus. Subtle glockenspiel sparkles on key words, with a sleepy swell into each chorus and a slow fade on a held final note., beautiful, sleep
