Turn on the lights, dad

I used to sleep like a baby when you put me to bed Cozy unicorn pyjamas Not a worry in my head But lately when you tuck me in I'll need you in a minute I'm not frightened of the darkness, dad I'm scared of what might be in it So turn on the lights, dad Open the door I don't wanna sleep alone in the darkness anymore Turn on the lights, dad Stay in the room So I can feel safe and not a growing sense of-- I'm so happy when you spend the time To help with my Afraid And I've been grateful for the nightlight and the flashlight games we played I feel better when you comfort me That's when the monsters hide But the minute that you walked away is just when I cried Turn on the lights, dad Open the door I don't wanna sleep alone in the darkness anymore Turn on the lights, dad Stay in the room So I can feel safe and not a growing sense of-- Well there's never been a goblin in your closet, little one But where's the difference in a bear or troll At your age there is none The only monsters who get in your home Are sleeping on my bed Making little mewlings while I brush their fur and scritch them on the head Then turn out the lights, dad Open the door I don't wanna sleep alone in darkness anymore Turn out the lights, dad Then come tuck me in So I can feel better when you let my monsters in
