Let me hold you close and wipe away your tears Daddy's gonna make those bad dreams disappear I'm gonna be your knight in shining armor And I'll shout for all to hear, 'You can't harm her!' I'll slay the monsters hiding under the bed And slash away until all your fears are dead When the demons appear to make your heart race Daddy will chase them back to their hiding place When you cry out in the middle of the night I'll be there to defend you...prepared to fight And evil doers will know their time has come Cause Daddy won't let them into your kingdom So my princess, go to bed and close your eyes Daddy may be old and gray, but he's still wise Those old demons won't have anything to do Cause I'll always be around to protect you ©1997 JonH
