Little girl, little girl don’t cry
It’s dark outside but don’t be shy
To tell me you’re scared of the dark.
I once was a little girl like you,
Afraid of the dark, not knowing who
To turn to when I’m afraid of the dark.
Be still, be still my love
The morning will come soon
The birds will be singing
The flowers will bloom
Your tears will dry when you see it, my love.
Little girl, little girl I know it’s hard
To believe me when it’s cold outside
And you can't find a warm place to go.
Trust your little heart to give you warmth,
To give you hope and love and strength
When your eyes look around and you’re feeling low.
Be still, be still my love
The morning will come soon
The birds will be singing
The flowers will bloom
Your tears will dry when you see it, my love.
Little girl, don’t you know you’re like a butterfly?
You’re in the cave now, you’re like a caterpillar
But soon you’ll show me wings that can fly.
Just look inside, there’s life in there
You’ll find color, music – you’ll find your wings!
You’ll find a world of your own, my butterfly!
If you can just be still, my love
The morning will come soon
The birds will be singing
The flowers will bloom
Your tears will dry when you see it, my love.
