Lyrics
Leave a light on for me tonight
Say a prayer in my ear I need to hear everything?s gonna be all right
Batten down the hatch and lock it up real tight
?cause you never know?about a ghost
Staring at those big eyes looking up at me
Yeah it feels so good these days to be called ?Daddy?
?cause there was a time, you know, not so long ago
Not sure I would?ve beat these demons that I now?call a ghost
No, you never know
So I pull the covers up and I tuck him in real tight
And whisper these five words, ?Everything?s gonna be all right?
And took his hand and prayed, ?Lord we thank you so
For watching over us with the eyes of The Holy Ghost?
No, you never know
No, you never know
So when those familiar spirits come calling me
You know their voices I?ve learned in ways that seem uncanny
I heard them say that ?you can run but you can?t hide?
But what they don?t know is there?s a shadow
A place where I abide?my oh my
No, you never know
