little child, be not afraid
though rain pounds harshly against the glass
like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
I am here tonight

 

little child, be not afraid
 though thunder explodes and lightning flash
illuminates your tear-stained face

I am here tonight

 

little child, be not afraid
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams

I am here tonight

 

little child, be not afraid
though wind makes creatures of our trees
and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
and I am here tonight

 

for you know, once even I was a
little child, and I was afraid
but a gentle someone always came
to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
and to give a kiss goodnight

well now I am grown
and these years have shown
that rain's a part of how life goes
but it's dark and it's late
so I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close
and I hope that you'll know

everything's fine in the morning
the rain'll be gone in the morning
but I'll still be here in the morning
