Lyrics
Two a.m. and the whole house hums Tiny fingers wrapped around my thumb Nightlight painting gold on the wall You just got here and you've already got us all Rock rock rock in the kitchen glow Every little yawn is a story I know Small hands, big night Holding on, holding on tight Hush now, the city's asleep You're the only heartbeat I want to keep Small hands, big night Everything's gonna be alright Bottles warming on the counter top Lullabies I make up when the humming stops Footsteps soft on the hallway floor Learning every sound that you're asking for Rock rock rock in the kitchen glow Every little yawn is a story I know Small hands, big night Holding on, holding on tight Hush now, the city's asleep You're the only heartbeat I want to keep Small hands, big night Everything's gonna be alright Tomorrow we'll be tired, and that's okay Love is just showing up every day Window light turning from blue to pink Hello little one, let me look at you and think Small hands, big night Holding on, holding on tight Hush now, the city's asleep You're the only heartbeat I want to keep Small hands, big night Everything's gonna be alright Small hands, big night Sleep now, sleep now, goodnight
