I was getting down to sleeping,
laying upon my my little bed.
The shadows started creeping,
as I started resting my weary head.

I tried to close my wide eyes,
as shapes moved along the wall
I heard some great big sighs,
and the shadows got real tall.

So I screamed for my mother,
while I was shivering with fear.
Soon my eyes spied another
shadow creeping close and near.

Mother opened up the formidable door,
and turned on the nice bright light.
"Don't be afraid" and walks across the floor.
In a minute, she tucks me in real tight.

My mother saved me from the shadows,
they won't come out again tonight.
I'll dream about sweet meadows,
until the sun shines big and bright.
