Nightmare

There's a nightmare in my closet
Never went away
And all the times I watched it slowly
Growing up afraid
Who was scared to turn and look when I was safe in bed?
Was it there for me that had the ghastly monster's head?
If a nightmare in my closet
Really did exist
Who grew up and noticed that the other one was missed?
Who was scared to turn and look when I was safe in bed?
Was it there for me that had the ghastly monster's head?
Were you the creature?
Please won't you tell me?
There's a nightmare in my closet
It's never gone away
More and now I've noticed that I'm growing up afraid
Who was scared to turn and look when I was safe in bed?
Was it there for me that had the ghastly monster's head?
