Verse 1 When the world gets quiet after ten The shadows start to creep again Every thought gets way too loud Like thunder hiding in the clouds I count the cracks up on my ceiling Trying to outrun every feeling Then I hear your gentle voice And suddenly I have a choice Pre-Chorus To believe tomorrow’s coming Even when I can’t see the dawn You remind me I can make it You were here all along Chorus You’re my nightlight Glowing through the dark Keeping all the monsters Far away from my heart When the stars hide And the moon won’t shine You stay beside me Till the morning finds us You don’t have to save the whole sky Just being here is enough tonight You’re my nightlight You’re my nightlight Verse 2 You don’t promise perfect endings Or that the rain will disappear You just sit beside my silence Until it doesn’t hurt to hear You hold my hand without a reason Every winter, every season Like a lighthouse on the shore You help me find myself once more Pre-Chorus Every fear becomes a whisper Every storm begins to fade In the warmth of your reflection I don’t have to be afraid Chorus You’re my nightlight Glowing through the dark Keeping all the monsters Far away from my heart When the stars hide And the moon won’t shine You stay beside me Till the morning finds us You don’t have to save the whole sky Just being here is enough tonight You’re my nightlight You’re my nightlight Bridge Even if the power goes out Even if the heavens fall down Your love is brighter than electricity It’s the little things that rescue me When my eyes are full of tears You brighten up my deepest fears I know I’ll never lose my way As long as your light remains Final Chorus You’re my nightlight Soft enough to heal Showing me that hope is Something I can feel When my whole world Starts fading into gray You color every corner Till the darkness slips away If tomorrow takes its time I’ll be okay because you’re mine You’re my nightlight Burning through the longest night Outro So leave the lamp beside the bed Leave your heartbeat in my head As long as you’re around, I’ll be alright… My nightlight… My nightlight…
