Wonder why I'm scared of shadows
They don't bite
And they can't hurt me
They start so small and suddenly
I notice they're bigger than me

In the morning no more shadows
How do they just disappear
They must hide with others like them
And laugh about my little fear
Oh laugh about my little fear

And when the moon is full a whole bunch of them
Come jumpin' up on my bed
They're dancin' to a song I wrote
But frightenin' me instead
I wish that we could get acquainted
'Cause I know you're here to stay
Come on shadows let's get friendly
And stop scarin' each other away
Oh stop scarin' each other away
