i close my door at night

but they get in all right

and she turns on the light



i held her hands so tight

'cause words don't come out right

and she sees things at night



me, i'm closer to the door

i don't get scared no more

but i don't know the score



if i could hold them in my hand

i'd make them understand

i'm not a haunted mind

i'm not a thoughtless kind



if i could put them in a jar

i know they wouldn't scar

i'd do it if i could

i hope you know i would



i close my door at night

but she gets in all right

so i turn on the light



i held her hand too tight

too hard to make it right

so i could sleep at night



if i could hold them in my hand

i'd make them understand

i'm not a haunted mind

i'm not a thoughtless kind



if i could put them in a jar

i know they wouldn't scar

i'd do it if i could

i hope you know i would



i'd do it if i could

i hope you know i would

i'd do it if i could

i hope you know i would

i'd do it if i could

i hope you know i would

i'd do it if i could

i hope you know i would
