© Norm Hacking, words & music (SOCAN)

(for Benjamin Edward Chase Hacking)


Your Mommy paints the sunset.
Your Dad lassos the moon.
Their arms circle 'round you,
They sing a goodnight tune.
You hug your friends together -
Cuddle Bear and Glow Worm, too.
Funny Monkey's on the pillow,
Standin' guard on you.

And everything's okay.
There's no monsters in the closet.
Your parents love each other -
They ain't never goin' away.

The street lamp is a night light.
The toy box is asleep.
The kitten sees a ghost mouse.
The floorboards softly creak.
You hear your parents talkin'
Though it's awfully hard to hear.
Mommy turns the channel,
Daddy gets a beer.

And everything's okay.
There's no monsters in the closet.
Mommy loves your Daddy -
They ain't never goin' away.

Staring at the shadows,
They soon begin to move.
The summer night blows windy
And there's raindrops on the roof.
God is in his Heaven.
Someday it will be yours.
'Til then the clowns are dancin'
For all the girls and boys.

And everything's okay.
No monsters in the closet.
Mom and Dad love each other -
Ain't no one goin' away.
