Lyrics:

(A#m)
Dead of night, baby
We're finally alone
I'll pull down the shades
If you unplug the phone
Put on some music
Marvin Gaye's real nice
Once we get settled
I'll turn out the lights

(Riff 1, D#)
Don't be afraid of the dark
                            (A#m)
Don't be afraid of the dark
(D#)                      (C#)
I'll be there to hold you
                            (A#m)
Don't be afraid of the dark

(A#m)
It might be scary
Until your eyes adjust
Don't fear the shadows
Me you can trust
I'm at my best in a pitch-black room
Hold on tight, baby
You'll feel the power soon

(Riff 1, D#)
Don't be afraid of the dark
                            (A#m)
Don't be afraid of the dark
(D#)                       (C#)
I'll be there to hold you
                            (A#m)
Don't be afraid of the dark

(D#)                      (C#)
I'll be there to hold you
                            (A#m)
Don't be afraid of the dark

(A#m)
You might tremble
You might shake
Scream out loud
You may even break
I know which moods suit you right
You'll beg for more
You'll forget about the night

        (A#m)
Baby noooo, no

Don't be afraid of the dark
