Nightmares keep me up all night

I wish someone would hold me tight

Tossing and turning in my bed

with the nightmares in my head

Staying up all night long

with dreams that seem wrong

In the morning when I wake

I know my nightmares were all fake

but when it is time to go to bed

I fear the nightmares in my head
