I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark

I can hear the words you whisper when you’re near
I can feel them tickle softly in my ear
Kiss me softly while there’s no one here
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark

You know this darkness makes me see
That you’re the only one for me
You know this darkness makes me see
And this time’s the only time
We can make our feelings ryhme
With all the things we could not say

I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark
All alone in the dark
