Madison’s Lullaby

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, Madison
Tiny hands, sleepy grin
Moon is peeking through the blinds
Counting every breath you’re in
Little socks on the rocking chair
Storybooks in a crooked pile
I tuck the day behind your ear
Kiss your forehead, watch you smile
[Chorus]
Sleep, Madison, sleep
Drift on a silver stream
All the stars lean down to keep
Guard around your dreams
Sleep, Madison, sleep
Float where the soft clouds sing
In my arms you’re safe and deep
My brave and gentle spring
[Verse 2]
Little sigh, then a softer one
Heavy head on my chest
Nightlight painting golden squares
Across your cotton dress
Outside branches sway and bow
Like they’re dancing just for you
Every shadow, every sound
Says, “We’re watching over too”
[Chorus]
Sleep, Madison, sleep
Drift on a silver stream
All the stars lean down to keep
Guard around your dreams
Sleep, Madison, sleep
Float where the soft clouds sing
In my arms you’re safe and deep
My brave and gentle spring
[Bridge]
One day you’ll chase bigger skies (oh)
But tonight the world is small
Just your breath and my lullaby
And the clock upon the wall
[Chorus]
Sleep, Madison, sleep
Drift on a silver stream
All the stars lean down to keep
Guard around your dreams
Sleep, Madison, sleep
Float where the soft clouds sing
In my arms you’re safe and deep
My ever-perfect thing

Gentle neo-classical lullaby; soft piano arpeggios under a tender, lilting melody, brushed strings in warm legato swells. Female vocals close to the mic, almost whispered, with light wordless humming between lines. Subtle harp glissandos at section changes, very slow tempo, ending in a delicate rubato fade into silence., beautiful, classical
