You are my nightlight, the darkness you fight.
The darkness that darkens all things in sight;
The darkness in which your fears reside;
The darkness where closet monsters hide;
The darkness that comes when the sun goes down;
The darkness, which at night, befalls the town;
The darkness in which you trip and fall;
The darkness that makes shadows seem tall.
Listen to me and the things you hear.
Come light my night and take away my fears;
Shine in my room, my mind, my dream.
Like a newborn star, you glisten and gleam.
Open my eyes so that I may see.
At all glittering things, I squeal in glee.
Turn, night to day, make things bright;
Come stay with me forever, my love, my nightlight.
