[Verse 1]

Here in the dark, it's funny how I never feel alone

Do you?

Here in the shadows, away from the light

This darkness under which we hide

Like a ghost I cannot see

You’re the shadow behind me


[Chorus]

You’ll be my night light there when I go to sleep

You’ll be my night light, baby, when I dream

Under the moonlight shining on the sea

You’ll be my night light watching over me


[Verse 2]

Behind the glass, he’ll never leave

Lets me in when I don’t deserve to be

Strong when I am weak

I wish he caught how this heart soars

Shadow man, will you come for me?

Like a ghost I cannot see

You’re the shadow behind me


[Chorus]

You’ll be my night light there when I go to sleep

You’ll be my night light, baby, when I dream

Under the moonlight shining on the sea

You’ll be my night light watching over me


[Bridge]

Map the way for us to go

Tell me where to follow

I'm happy to be told, happy to be told

I'm taking it apart for you to see

I could be falling to pieces, so let me fall

Let me fall into your shade


[Chorus]

You’ll be my night light there when I go to sleep

You’ll be my night light, baby, when I dream

Under the moonlight shining on the sea

You’ll be my night light watching over me


[Outro]

Watching over me

Watching over me
