Lyrics
When it's time for bed at night,
and darkness creeps down the hall.
All the comforts of your room at night,
seem to be so small.
Just remember I'm down the stairs,
singing you a song. And
darkness is nothing but the lights not on.
Last night when I checked on you,
the darkness held you in peace.
All your blankets and stuffed animals,
were pulled up close to your cheek.
You used to say "when I'm asleep I'm fine.
It's just so hard to wait."
But darkness is nothing but the lights not on.
When you were young we kept the hall light on.
If we forgot you would cry.
As you got old it didn't bother you.
As long as we were close by ..
Now every once in a while,
you have to go to sleep by yourself.
"Can't you stay and read a little more?
I don't want to sleep alone."
I tell you what, I'll play a song down stairs.
I've got a new one for you. It's called
'Darkness Is Nothing But the Lights Not On'.

There once was a girl, who didn't like the dark.
Going to bed, for her, was very hard.
"All I need is some one close by,
Sittin' at the bottom of the stairs is just right.
Just knowing that someone is near.
Her Dad told the girl that night is the same as day.
When the lights are on, things look the same old way.
Darkness is the same as daytime.
Turn the lights on and things look just fine.
Darkness is just the day when it's asleep.

Well she liked the song he sang,
and the way it made her feel.
When she thought about the scary things,
they didn't seem so real.
Before she knew it, her eyes were closed.
The little girl was asleep, knowing
Darkness Is Nothing But the Lights Not On.
Darkness Is Nothing But the Lights Not On.
