In The Dark
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here, and we're gone
Lookin' 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 song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancin' in the dark
Dancin' in the dark
Dancin' in the dark
The Rat Pack's "In The Dark" shares a romantic tale of two people dancing in the dark, lost in the moment, and waltzing in the wonder of why they are here. They are aware that time hurries by and soon they will be gone but they still continue to dance, seeking the light of a new love to brighten up the night. Even though love and song may be old, through them, they can still feel young at heart. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being with someone we love and facing the music together, keeping each other company even when the lights go out.
The song is not only about romance but also highlights the idea of cherishing the moment and living in the present. It teaches us to be aware of the transience of time and to appreciate each other while we still can. The "heart of mine wailin' all the time" can also be viewed as a metaphor for the cry of the human heart – seeking love, joy, and purpose – and how dancing in the dark can help us forget our troubles and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the moment.
Line by Line Meaning
Dancin' in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the darkness until the song ends
We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here
We're embracing the mystery of why we exist by dancing
Time hurries by, we're here, and we're gone
Life passes quickly and we're just passing through
Lookin' for the light of a new love, to brighten up the night, I have you love
I'm searching for a new love to uplift me, but I have you, my love
And we can face the music together, dancing in the dark
We can confront and endure life's challenges together, even in the dark
What though love is old, what though song is old, through them we can be young
Even if love and music are old, they keep us youthful and alive
Hear this heart of mine wailin' all the time, dear one, tell me that we're one
My heart is always longing, so reassure me that we're united as one
Dancin' in the dark
We continue to dance in the darkness
Dancin' in the dark
Still dancing in the darkness
Dancin' in the dark
Dancing in the darkness persistently

Rob Jones
Frank Sinatra was the best man at Sammy's wedding to May. His article in Jet Magazine
in 1958 - "The Way I Feel About Race Today" makes for a very positive stand on
race relations, after even six decades. The Rat Pack played benefits for Martin Luther
King Jnr in the very early 1960s.
MLK apparently was reduced to tears by Frank's version of "Ol' Man River."
When MLK was assassinated in 1968, Tina Sinatra said that was the only time she saw
her father cry.
"If you see your brother on his knees, why not give him a helping hand?" - Frank Sinatra.
None of these men were angels, but the above statement still remains true.

Which member of The Rat Pack do you think was the most talented?
CellPat2
They all brought something. One of them alone couldn't be the pack. I give Sammy the edge though, because he was truly multitalented. But him alone was not enough. It took all 5.
Wray & Nephew
Dean Martin
Lake County Naturalist
Sammy Davis. Easily.
Ryan Dyer 2
Herbert Hoover because he really showed us the way.
Ktown C
Honestly love how this is supposed to be tailored to Sammy but easily Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra before Sam.
Sam was brought in by them both to be inclusive. The most loving accepting people and if you thought their jokes were real you're pathetic because they're jokes.
Shade Jefferson Ford
Sammy Davis,Jr was definitely the most talented. He was a stage & screen actor, dancer, singer, impressionist, comic, ad libber & photographer. Last night, I saw an interesting American Masters documentary about him. However, it left out some vital details.
Scott Davidson
Overall talent he definitely had it all. A great song and dance man, and yes, the most talented of all the Rat Pack.

i'm surprised Davis could even smile with all the things he had to go thru
CellPat2
Sammy had no ego and he put up with a lot. His heart was as big as his talent. Idiots all those who felt threatened because Sammy was a better person and a much better artist than they ever would.
