In The Early Morning Light
Shadows dancing in the dark
Midnight comes with fright
Hiding under the covers
On a ghostly moonlit night
The house appears so scary
When no one else is 'round
Boogiemen prancing in my mind
Wild imaginings abound
Tree limbs scrape the windows
Wind is beginning to howl
Thunder in the distance
Night critters on the prowl
Chilling phantoms descend upon me
And I begin to scream
Then feel ashamed when I realize
That they are only in a dream
Mommy hurries to my bedside
And eases my doubt and fright
Says everything will be better
When daytime conquers night
Daylight comes and I awake
And see that Mommy was right
All my ghosts have disappeared
In the early morning light
