[Verse 1]
In the dark it's just you and I
Not a sound, there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark
[Verse 2]

When he presses fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me to please keep still
In the dark
[Bridge]
But soon this dance will be ended
And you all is going to be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fun, fun to be kissed

[Verse 3]

Just let them dance
We're going to find romance
In the dark
[Verse 1]
Lord, in the dark, in the dark it's just you and I
Not a sound, not a sound, there's not one sigh
Just the beat, just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark
[Verse 2]
Lord, in the dark, in the dark I get such a thrill
When he presses fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me to please keep still
In the dark
[Bridge]
Lord but soon, soon, soon, soon this dance will be ended
And you all is going to be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fun, it's fun to be kissed
In the dark
[Verse 3]
Now, we will find
What the rest, what the rest, what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance
We're gonna find romance
In the dark, in the dark
