If I tell you, I love you Let the words 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 a confession Promise that I do tell Let your lips be silent As a broken wishing well 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 head Dogs outside are barking The cobwebs from your head And the harsh light of morning Don't you take it to heart 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
