[Intro]
[one guitar alone, soft open voicings]
[second guitar enters with sparse high harmonics]
[third guitar answers with a simple upper-register figure]
[leave generous silence between phrases]

[Verse 1]
[lead vocal close, fragile, almost whispered]
[guitar 1 maintains a soft broken-chord cradle]
[guitar 2 adds occasional suspended tones]
[guitar 3 answers only at phrase endings]
Close your eyes, my little lantern,
the room knows how to glow.
The moon is at the window
with nowhere else to go.

[Refrain]
[slightly warmer; melody remains simple]
[second male voice joins gently on “sleep now”]
[third voice enters only near the end of the refrain]
[guitars widen their voicings without increasing volume]
Sleep now, sleep now,
small star, soft flame.
The dark is only evening
learning your name.

[Verse 2]
[return to mostly solo lead]
[relaxed storytelling, natural speech-shaped phrasing]
[guitar parts become slightly more conversational]
[guitar 2 adds quiet counterpoint; guitar 3 supplies delicate harmonics]
Your blanket is a meadow,
your pillow is a hill.
The world may turn its wheels tonight,
but here, the house is still.

[Refrain]
[three-part harmony appears more clearly but remains hushed]
[distinct male voices, tightly tuned but human]
[let harmony bloom on “soft flame” and “name”]
Sleep now, sleep now,
small star, soft flame.
The dark is only evening
learning your name.

[Bridge]
[pull dynamics inward]
[guitar 1 simplifies almost to isolated chords]
[guitars 2 and 3 trade sparse melodic responses]
[lead vocal very intimate, reflective]
[harmonies enter only on selected words]
Even the brave birds fold their wings.
Even the river bends.
Even the moon, so high and bright,
borrows light from friends.

[Final Refrain]
[gentle emotional lift without becoming louder]
[full three-part harmony, warm and closely blended]
[three guitars interlock: foundation, counterline, upper melody]
[allow open strings and ringing intervals to overlap naturally]
Sleep now, sleep now,
small star, soft flame.
Tomorrow has a door for you,
and love will know your name.

[Outro]
[voices gradually return toward a single lead]
[guitars thin out one by one]
[final lines nearly whispered]
[leave audible breath and room tone]
Close your eyes, my little lantern.
The night is kind and deep.
God keeps watch in quiet things.
Rest now. Drift to sleep.

[Ending]
[one final soft open guitar chord]
[let natural resonance decay]
[no dramatic ending, no fade effect]
