This Halloween Ev'ning

Come along and slip away, slip away into the dream
Don't be scared of what you've seen
Don't you scream, don't you scream
'Cause if I'm right by your side and you're so close to mine
What's that light across the sky
That's glowing, glowing

CHORUS
Blow out the candlelight and draw up the sheets
When ghostly winds begin to blow and chill you to your very soul
Forget that we're alone, afraid
This terror will not cease
These nasty dreams so give a scream
This frightening, dark phantasmic scene
Don't run away, please stay with me
This Halloween evening

Someone spit on my gravestone
How sad, how sad
No rest here in this catacomb
Too bad, too bad
I could sleep for a thousand years and still awake to these vagrant fears
Phantasmagoric and sincere
Inside these chilly bones
Until this rotting corpse begins to dance!

Don't be scared, don't look at me
Look ahead into the dream
If we fight we'll stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive
But my face must look a fright and my eyes turned towards the light
It's too late to run away
It's glowing, glowing

CHORUS

Don't run away, please stay with me
This Halloween evening
