I whisper to the nightlight
I utter your name
So the shadows it casts on my wall
  will dance the dance that you taught me

I whisper to the nightlight
I tell it your secret name
So the shadows that creep up my wall
  won't haunt me

I whisper to the nightlight
I cry out your name
And coax the shadows on my wall
  to hold me and rock me to sleep
  like you do

I whisper to the nightlight
It already knows your name
And the shadows that dance on my wall
  dance the dance you taught me
  the sacred dance you taught me

I whisper to the nightlight
I call it by your name
It takes my hand and leads me
  in the shadow dance you taught me
  the Dreamland Dance you taught me
