LITTLE LIGHT - The Moon is hanging low Tonight

Easy now, the world can wait Sleep little light I used to chase the midnight highways With a guitar and a restless soul Crowds would sing my name like thunder Back when I thought that's how you grow I've seen cities made of neon I've watched sunsets from a stage But none of those bright burning moments Ever turned a sweeter page Than this [bass guitar enters] Your tiny hand around my finger Your heartbeat soft against my chest The whole world keeps on spinning But right now it's at rest Little light, close your eyes The moon is hanging low tonight Little light, dream your dreams The stars still know what wonder means And if the dark comes drifting in I'll stay right here till morning wins Little light, sleep a while The world can wait for your smile I wrote songs for broken strangers Trying to heal what I couldn't mend Funny how a quiet cradle Can teach an old man how to begin again Every scar becomes a story Every road becomes a line And every mile I ever wandered Led to this small hand in mine Someday you'll find your own horizon Someday you'll run where I once ran But tonight the only journey Is sleeping safe while you still can Little light, close your eyes The moon is hanging low tonight Little light, dream your dreams The stars still know what wonder means And if the dark comes drifting in I'll stay right here till morning wins Little light, sleep a while The world can wait for your smile I don't know what tomorrow brings What songs you'll sing, what sky you'll chase But if you ever lose your way Remember love, remembers every face Remember love, remember love Little light, close your eyes The moon is hanging low tonight Little light, dream your dreams The stars still know what wonder means And if the years fly far too fast These arms will always hold your past Little light, sleep a while The world can wait for your smile Sleep little light Sleep little light
