Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

I'm looking at the pitch black sky outside

And I realize that I'm afraid of the dark

I turn on all the lights inside

But there's still fear in my heart

I'm trying to keep myself busy

But it's starting to rain very hard

The lights make scary shadows

And I realize I'm afraid of the dark

But then I look around

You're standing there, smiling

You're not bothered by the thundering sounds

Aren't you afraid of the dark?

I find your smile reassuring somehow

I'm walking towards you

I can feel you holding my hands now

I'm asking you to hug me too

You say there's no need to be afraid

Soon light will succeed the dark

You tell me you'll hold my hand all night

If it will calm my heart

But will you stay beside me

Till the sun shines in my room?

I'm still afraid of the dark you see

But I'm no longer afraid of you...
