Night Time Fears
Here I am awake again
the night as black as hell
Is there someone out there
so dark I cannot tell
Mostly everyone's asleep
there is no sound
there's not a peep
Am I the only one awake
it feels that way
this brand new day
I’m looking for the moon to see
but even she's not there for me
No stars that twinkle up above
even Venus Goddess of Love
forsakes me as I search in vain
her sparkling face I yearn to see
But now the dark is scaring me
has the world come to an end
I’m here completely on my own
alone without a friend
No one is here I’m full of fear
and on my cheek a single tear
But wait ~ is that a sound I hear
a sound I love ~ a sound so near
to free me from the nightmare
that entombed me all night long
The sweetest blackbird serenades
me with his early morning song
and as the darkness of this night
begins to vanish I see the light
Fears fade into oblivion
as this darling blackbird sings his song
And one by one my night time fears
are banished with my night time tears
My handsome blackbird sings his song
and all my night time fears are gone …
