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...
