Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There's a nail in the door And there's glass on the lawn Tacks on the floor And the TV is on And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone There's a blade by the bed And a phone in my hand A dog on the floor And some cash on the nightstand When I'm all alone the dreaming stops And I just can't stand What should I do I'm just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan Outside the door he followed me home So goodnight moon I want the sun If it's not here soon I might be done No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon There's a shark in the pool And a witch in the tree A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall Something's under the bed Now it's out in the hedge There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge And I hear something scratching through the wall What should I do I'm just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan Outside the door he followed me home So goodnight moon I want the sun If it's not here soon I might be done No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
