sleeping in the dark

I used to be scared of the dark when I was a kid in bed, I always believed monster were hiding under my bed. When the lights went out and there was shadows on the wall, but when I turn my lamp on there was nothing there at all. When I turn it of again there was a monster on my chair, It must be my imagination as it was only my teddy bear. Things look different in the dark, shadows on the wall, What's that above my head it wasn't there before? I turn on my light and drink the warm milk mum had made, I look above my head it's only my light shade. I look under my bed there is no monster under there, It's my imagination that's just a teddy on my chair. I close my eyes the I count sheep tucked up in my bed, There is no such thing as monsters it's all just in my head. I wake up in the morning, no shadows on the wall, I'm a big boy now, not scared of the dark no more. When I go upstairs tonight, when it's time for bed, I will be brave, turn of my light as it's all just in my head. There is no such thing as monsters or shadows on the wall, I will close my eyes I'll count sheep just like I did before. Next time I think there is a monster sitting on my chair, I will laugh and go to sleep as it's just my teddy bear. I a a big boy now it was all just in my head, There is no such thing as monsters that live under my bed.
