Please leave the light on when you go,
I know that I said when you tucked me into bed,
That I'm not scared and I'm not you know,
Still please leave the light on when you go,
I know that I told you to leave me in the dark,
But I've been thinking and it wouldn't be right for a start
There's the creak of the door,
And the monster sneakers cross the floor and right under my bed,
I can hear his sharp claws scratching outside my door,
And it's hard to ignore when I'm resting my head,
So before you say goodnight,
And you tuck me in so tight
Please leave the light on when you go,
I know that I said when you tucked me into bed,
That I'm not scared and I'm not you know,
Still please leave the light on when you go,
I know that I told you to leave me in the dark,
But I've been thinking and it wouldn't be right
Cause when you turn on the light,
I know that everything's right,
And I can sleep through the night without a worry or care,
But when I lie in my room,
I hear things in the gloom,
I know I'm being silly and there's nothing there,
But still before you say goodnight,
And you tuck me in so tight,
Won't you leave on the light
Cause there's a light out at sea and it's shining for me,
Keeping me safe from the storm in my head,
And the more that it shines, well the more I fine,
Warm and snug lying in my bed,
Maybe I've got a light inside,
And it can be my guide
Please leave the light on when you go,
I know that I said when you tucked me into bed,
That I'm not scared and I'm not you know
