歌詞

The book lies open wide

On your small wooden knee

One last turn of the page

And you lean close to me

The lamp burns low and kind

Over crumbs and fading gold

I tuck the tale away

Like a mitten in the cold

Hush now, the castle sleeps

The window folds its light

I'll count the steps we took

Three by three tonight

Waltz to close the storybook

Slowly, slowly, love

Waltz to close the storybook

Soft as stars above

One more page

One more page

Waltz to close the storybook

Your thumb marks every place

Where the brave ones ran and cried

A paper crown, a blue glass lake

A door with no one inside

The fox has gone to bed

And the moon has shut the gate

I smooth the crease with careful hands

And let the ending wait

Hush now, the castle sleeps

The window folds its light

I'll count the steps we took

Three by three tonight

Waltz to close the storybook

Slowly, slowly, love

Waltz to close the storybook

Soft as stars above

Goodnight, little world

Goodnight, little world

Waltz to close the storybook

If the dragons come again

We'll leave a lamp on low

If the hallway gets too long

We'll learn it as we go

But for now, your eyes are warm

And the last gold fades away

So hold my hand, and circle once

Then let the quiet stay

Waltz to close the storybook

Slowly, slowly, love

Waltz to close the storybook

Soft as stars above

One more page

One more page

Waltz to close the storybook
