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 growin 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?
