Darlin
Roch Voisine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you and I
Have been drifting apart
Nights are forever alone
No matter what my head
Keeps on telling my heart
I'm regretting letting go
I had my reasons to close
All those doors
I thought that in time I'd survive
To dance with a strange
Is all that is left for me now
To stay alive
And I dance with a stranger
Tonight
And I'm holding on tight
Thinking of you
And I dance with a stranger again
But my heart still remains
So cold and blue
All in good time
I've been telling myself
Love will break through in the end
If only you were holding me
I'd know full well
There would be no more need to pretend
And I dance with a stranger tonight
And I'm holding on tight
Thinking of you
And I dance with a stranger again
But my heart still remains
So cold and blue...
And I dance with a stranger tonight
And I'm holding on tight
Thinking of you
And I dance with a stranger again
But my heart still remains




So cold and blue
Thinking of you.
