Why Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Lyrics

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one
I'm right beside you
Sleep

I closed my eyes but the night wouldn't go away
Will my covers keep me safe?
If I can reach into my dreams it'll be okay
But you said

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one
I'm right beside you
Sleep

I can't see into tomorrow
But when I look ahead you're there
A long way off but maybe I'll reach you by morning
I don't know what's coming next
But I know what lies behind
And I'm not going back to get buried in safety
Did you turn off all the lights to help me?

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one
I'm right beside you
Sleep

When I can't see
Lead me
Almighty
