about

Originally recorded in the Spring of 2000, I never completed lyrics for this song despite it receiving its radio broadcast debut on KGSR-FM's "Sound of our Town" program shortly after its release in Austin, Texas. The lack of real lyrics always bothered me so when I found the original session files I set to work on it in my home studio turning it into the song I always wanted it to be. So here it is! Enjoy!

lyrics

I've got this feeling inside that I cannot begin to describe
How in the world can a man and a woman survive?
Kissin' asses and payin' taxes
Sometimes life just stinks!
But I'm here to say there's an old fashioned way for a boy and girl to get some relief
So step on up. Walk this way. Every child of heaven has a price to pay to the night.
I'll be your nightlight babe.
Let's go!
Hey, ho, it's never too dark to see
Hey, ho, you just leave it to me
I'll be your nightlight. I'll be your nightlight, babe
Hey, ho, I'll be your nightlight, babe
So step on up. Walk this way. Every child of heaven has a price to pay to the night.
I'll be your nightlight baby
Oh, let's go!

Ooo baby needs a nightlight! I'll be your nightlight, babe
Hey, ho, I'll be your nightlight, babe
When it gets real dark and you got no place to go just open the door and follow the glow to your nightlight
I'll be your nightlight, baby

It can get real, real dark in a hurry
But my baby never worries. My baby's got a hold of my nightlight
Yea, my nightlight, baby
My baby she never has to worry no more cause my baby's seen the light and she knows what its for
I'll be your nightlight yea, be your nightlight baby
Let's go!

Shine the light, shine the light of your nightlight
Shine the light, shine the light of your nightlight
Two or three kisses gonna get you more that ninety nine dollars at the candy store.
Be your nightlight, babe. Be your nightlight.
Two or three kisses gonna get you more that ninety nine dollars at the candy store. I'll be your nightlight, babe. Be your nightlight, baby
Let's go!

Ooo baby's got a ticket to ride. Baby's got a ticket to shine
With your nightlight, baby, with your nightlight
Two or three kisses gonna get you more that ninety nine dollars at the candy store. With your nightlight, baby. With your nightlight.
Hey, ho, let's go!

Nightlight, nightlight........
