Afraid of the Dark

Come and tell me a story Back when you were a kid You were queen of the island All the things that you did Show me all of the pictures The house on the lake All the kings and royals And all the friends that you made She said, "Tell the ones you love, you love them Turn your minutes into moments Don't be scared to give away your heart" But I'm still afraid of the dark Still scared of my shadow Still looking for monsters Under my bed every night Oh, I wish you were right there To fight off the nightmares You were the night light on a dark night, like the stars I'm still afraid of the dark Always looking out for me Always seeing my best You'd be proud of my story Now I'm writing the rest I remember the bedroom At the end of the hall I'll be walking beside you 'Til the end of it all She said, "Tell the ones you love, you love them Turn your minutes into moments Don't be scared to give away your heart" But I'm still afraid of the dark Still scared of my shadow Still looking for monsters Under my bed every night Oh, I wish you were right there To fight off the nightmares You were the night light on a dark night, like the stars I'm still afraid of the dark You were the night light on a dark night, like the stars I'm still afraid of the dark Still scared of my shadow Still looking for monsters under my bed Every night Oh, I wish you were right there To fight off the nightmares You were the night light on a dark night, like the stars I'm still afraid of the dark You were the night light on a dark night like the stars I'm still afraid of the dark
