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?
