[Verse 1]
Oooh, oh oh, aaaah
I thought I was happy
Yeah, at least I went through the motions
I was always laughing
What was left of my emotions
And my whole life, was compromised
And my smile, was in disguise

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then I met you (Then I met you) and I let you-ooh
Oh, I let you touch me (Touch me)

[Chorus]
In the darkness
You make me see how love can feel
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
Our demons reached up outta my mind
Ooh, I sleep like a baby now
With you here, you're my baby now

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every night (Every night) I want surprises
When you touch me (Touch me)

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

[Bridge]
And when I'd had nothing to hold
You showed me the handle
Ooh, and when I was so cold
You were a vigilant candle
Oh-ah, in the darkness, in the darkness

[Saxophone Solo by Richie Cannata]

[Outro]
Oh oh, whoa
And when I'd had nothing to hold
You showed me the handle
Ooh, and when I was so cold
You were a vigilant candle (Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh)
In the darkness (Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
In the- In the- In the darkness (Oh, you made me feel)
You make me see how love can feel (Oh, so real)
(In the darkness)
I can't believe how good it feels ([?])
In the- In the- In the darkness
You made me see how love (It really) really feels ([?])
(In the darkness)
I can't believe how good it feels (It's so, yeah, so good)
In the darkness
You made me see how love really feels (You make me feel)
(In the darkness)
