Help me put my lost boys to bed Tuck them in and kiss each small head And tell me I'm not a fool to believe Let's pretend you don't have to leave And I'll keep the nightlight on If you stay until the dawn The snow is gone, but I feel it's chill The winter had (?) near long hours to fill My eyes still sting from autumn's goodbye But I'll always keep watch of the sky And I'll leave the nightlight on If you say until the dawn I'm not a candidate for wild abandon But come to my window, I'll make no demands on you I'm jealous now, of the girl who's asleep She will have my vigil to keep I've moved on, but they're left behind And she's the one with adventure to find And I'll keep the nightlight on If you stay until the dawn Yeah, I'll leave the nightlight on If you stay until the dawn
