I'm Not Afraid Of The Dark

When it's time to go to sleep, I climb into my bed.

I wrap the covers 'round me. I lay down my head.

I get a warm cozy feeling when everyone says good night.

I always think of happy thoughts when I turn off the lights.

Some nights as I lie in bed, I see shapes on my wall.

Even if they move across the floor, i'm not scared at all.

I watch them dance on my window. I wonder what they could be.

I can see they're only shadows. I know they won't bother me.↻ Refrain

Sometimes I get awakened at night by noises all ‘round my house.

It might be a creak, a thump, a squeak or a cat that wants to go out.

Now and then it's the neighbor's dog howling up at the moon.

Some nights I hear my sister closing the door to her room.↻ Refrain
