Tell me something happy

Before I go to sleep

Whisper me soft stories

And my secrets keep

Hold me safe and warm

Until the break of day

Stay with me while I’m sleeping

‘Til the nightmares go away

My mind turns against me

It’s happiness I seek

But memories weigh heavy

In darkness they will creep

Into my dreams and make me

Childlike, lost and scared

Back in time and take me

Terrified and unprepared

It’s only until morning

When I let the feelings go

Realise that I’m far from it now

And with your care you show

In time things can get better

It won’t always be that way

Just stay with me ‘til morning

Help the nightmares go away
