Lyrics

When I was a child and I was afraid of being alone in the dark
I'd whistle a tune to keep bad things away until I was safe in the light

Whistlin' in the dark helped me not be afraid of things that go bump in the night
Whistlin' in the dark gave me courage until I knew I was safe in the light

As I grew older I also grew bolder now I do less whistlin' in the dark
But sometimes I still need to find inner strength when things aren't going quite right

Whistlin' in the dark helps me not be afraid of things that go bump in my life
Whistlin' in the dark gives me courage until I'm sure everything is all right

Momma just said you've been crying in bed so I've come to see what was wrong
I'll just sit here so you'll know that I'm near and whistle a tune in the dark
