Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one
I´m right beside you
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
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 safety
Did you turn off the lights to help me?

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

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

When I can´t see
Lead me
Almighty

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