can't you see me smilin' 

that's me upon the silver screen 

can't you see me lyin' 

lyin' in my bed at night as i dream 

in the misty moonlight 

by the flickering firelight 

and everything is alright 

as long as i've got my nite lite 



i get scared of the dark 

i lose my bite and i lose my bark 

i need a little beacon or spark 

something to light my way 

there's so many monsters to fight 

coming out of my closet 

when it's late at night 

and everything is alright 

just as long as i've got my nite lite
