[Intro]
Ooh-whoa, ah

[Verse 1]
I thought I was happy
Yeah, at least I went through the motions
I was always laughing
At what was left of my emotions
And my whole life was a compromise
And my smile, a thin disguise

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I met you (Then I met you)
And I let you
Ooh, I let you touch me (Touch me)

[Chorus]
In the darkness
(You make me see how love can be near)
In the darkness
(I can't believe how good it feels)

[Verse 2]
I thought I'd go crazy
Yeah, I couldn't sleep through the nighttime
I would toss and turn
While demons waged a fight in my mind
Ah-ooh, I sleep like a baby now
With you here, you're my baby now
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night is (Every night is)
Full of surprises
When you touch me (Touch me)

[Chorus]
In the darkness
(You make me see how love can be near)
In the darkness
(I can't believe how good it feels)

[Bridge]
And when I had nothing to hold
You showed me the handle
Ooh, and when I was so cold
You were a village of candles
Ah-ah-ah
In the darkness
In the darkness

[Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge]
Whoa, and when I had nothing to hold
You showed me the handle
Ooh, and when I was so cold
You were a village of candles (Whoa)
In the darkness (Whoa)
[Chorus]
In the, in the, in the darkness (You make me feel)
(You make me see how love can be near)
In the darkness (It's so real)
(I can't believe how good it feels)
In the darkness
In the, in the, in the darkness (In the darkness)
(You make me see how love can be near)
In the darkness (I can't believe how good it feels)
(I can't believe how good it feels)
(In the darkness, you do)
In the darkness
(You make me see how love can be near)
