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
