Dancing In The Dark
James Darren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing in the dark,
Till the tune ends
We`re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends.
We`re waltzing in the wonder of why we`re here
Time hurries by, we`re here and gone.

Looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night
I have you, love, and we can face the music together,
Dancing in the dark.

What though love is old?
What though song is old?
Through them we can be young.
Hear this heart fo mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one tell me that we`re one

Looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night.
I have you, love, and we can face the music together,
Dancing in the dark.

(Instrumental Part)
Looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night.
I have you, love, and we can face the music together,
Dancing in the dark,




Dancing in the dark,
Dancing in the dark.
