Little noises, late at night
Someone has awakened
A quiet figure, by my side
Trembling and shaking

Quietly, I hear her whisper
Mommy can I sleep in your bed tonight?
I am so afraid and alone
Please can I sleep in your bed tonight
Just this time I promise
Mommy keep us warm

Tossing and turning, sleepless child
Stumbles down the hallway
Fading in and out am I
Here's yet another stowaway

Quietly, I hear him whisper
Mommy can I sleep in your bed tonight?
I am so afraid and alone
Please can I sleep in your bed tonight
Just this time I promise
Mommy keep us warm

How can all of these bad dreams
Come in one night?
And how will all of these children
Fit between us?
Sleep between us?
Snuggle tight!

Now abandoned, and realized
Where are all the others?
Left deserted, she must find
Her sister and her brother

Quietly, I hear her whisper
Mommy can I sleep in your bed tonight?
I am so afraid and alone
Please can I sleep in your bed tonight
Just this time I promise
Just one time we promise
'Til next time I promise
Mommy keep us warm
