Nightlight Lyrics

Oh, whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Oh, whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Out the door
Down the hall
That is all
Down the hall
Down the stairs
Pretty soon
You'll be there

Oh, whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Oh, whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Down the stairs
Take your time
Don't be scared
You'll be fine
Nothing's changed
In the dark
It's all the same

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
