Words Said in the Dark

If I tell you I love you, let the words that I say ring as true tomorrow as they do today
Show me that you are listening with an open heart
Tell me you will remember these words said in the dark

If I make my confession, promise never to tell
Let your lips be silent as a broken mission bell
Like a heart-shaped locket, if we're ever apart, slip it into your pocket: these words said in the dark

See the candle flicker down to just a spark
Hold tight to this moment, these words said in the dark

See the candle flicker down to just a spark
Hold tight to this moment, these words said in the dark

When the sun comes climbing like a bandit into your bed
Dogs outside are barking the cobwebs from your head
In the harsh light of morning, don't you take it too hard
Darling, nothing will change these words said in the dark

See the candle flicker down to just a spark
Hold tight to this moment, these words said in the dark
Oh, hold tight to this moment, these words said in the dark
