[Intro — Soft piano, distant strings] [Verse 1 — Intimate, tender] The evening settles on the glass Another day is drifting past The things you carried, let them fall You needn't hold them after all The questions that we couldn't mend Can find their answers round the bend There's nothing left to prove tonight Just breathe beneath the fading light [Chorus — Warm, gently melodic] And the world can wait Till the morning comes Let the silence sing What the day left undone Close your eyes, my Starlight Let the long hours go There's a little room for dreaming In the quiet that we know [Verse 2 — Soft, almost whispered] The city hums beyond the pane A distant car, a little rain And somewhere in the space between Are all the things we've ever dreamed No need to hurry, no need to try No need to ask the evening why The stars will keep their patient place While sleep comes softly to your face [Chorus — Delicate strings beneath piano] And the world can wait Till the morning comes Let the silence sing What the day left undone Close your eyes, my Starlight Let the long hours go There's a little room for dreaming In the quiet that we know [Bridge — Barely above a whisper] If tomorrow brings another storm We'll find our way when morning's born But here, beneath the evening blue There's nothing more you need to do [Final Chorus — Tender, slowing] So the world can wait Let the hours unwind Leave the weight of the day With the day left behind Close your eyes, my Starlight Let the last candle glow And drift into your dreaming Where the quiet rivers flow [Outro — Whispered, fading] Goodnight, my Starlight Goodnight, my dear The world can wait I'm here [Piano fades into silence]
