Lyrics

V1
A little red haired girl with freckled face gave kisses all around
It's getting late, it's time for bed, mom had turned the covers down
She looked around one last time, gave a great big smile to all
And then she said with some concern, "Daddy, watch me down the hall"

Chorus
It's a long, long way from here to there
And dark on every side
There's lots of places from here to there
For scary things to hide
I'll be careful in the dark so I don't trip and fall
But I know I'll be okay if You watch me down the hall

V2
As the little girl left the room, I began to see
Though she was talking to her dad, she really spoke to me
My troubles all seem mighty big, and I feel mighty small
So Father, if You hear me now, watch me down the hall

Repeat chorus
