[Intro — deep bass, warm like breath, synth pad, 8 bars] [Verse 1 — low, whisper, intimate] Time to sleep… time to sleep… The city fades and goes so deep. You're almost gone, I feel the chill, But I am lying here — still. Silence drapes across my chest, Like your hand upon my rest. In this world so wide and steep, We are two shores — awake, asleep. [Pre-Chorus — voice lifts slightly, strings enter] I don’t want to wake you now, Just to be with you somehow. Breathe the same slow breath of air, Hear you sleeping — feel you there. [Chorus — warm, floating] Let this night be long and wide, Like the love we hold inside. I will stay right here with you, Till the morning breaks in two. I will hold your dream so tight, In the palms of my sleep tonight. [Verse 2 — softer, darker] Time to sleep… November's grey, But in this room — it's June all day. You're my warmest, deepest secret, One I hold — not sing, just keep it. I lie and listen to your breath, A rhythm softer than my death. This is more than music made, This is silence — unafraid. [Bridge — spoken, close mic, bass and breath] No words. No light. Just you. Just me. Just night. That's all I need. [Final Chorus — soft, fading] Let this night be long and wide, Like the love we hold inside. I will stay right here with you, Till the morning breaks in two. I will hold your dream so tight, In the palms of my sleep tonight. [Outro — bass fades, voice fades, whisper] Time to sleep… Time to sleep… Goodnight… so deep.
