LYRICS: 
------- 
I close my door at night, 
But they get in allright, 
And she turns on the light. 
 
I, I held her hands so tight, 
'Cause words don't come out right, 
When she sees things at night. 
 
But me, I'm closer to the door, 
I don't get scared no more, 
But i don't know the score. 
 
(CHORUS:) 
If I could hold them in my hand, 
I'd make them understand. 
I'm not a haunted mind, 
I'm not a thoughtless kind. 
 
If I could put them in a jar, 
I know they wouldn't scar. (??) 
I do it if I could, 
I hope you know I would. 
 
(END:) 
I do it if I could, 
I hope you know I would. (3x)
