In the Dark Lyrics

Words & Music by Lil Green
Recorded by Mary Steenburgen in the movie "The Butcher's Wife," 1991
Previously recorded by Nina Simone, 1966
In the dark, it's just you and I;
Not a sound, there's not one sigh,
-5 di
Just the beat of my poor heart in the dark.
In the dark, in the dark, I get such a thrill
When he presses his fingertips upon my lips,
And he begs me to please keep still in the dark.
D9 D9 alt Dm Dm7 A
But soon, this dance will be endin'
And you're gonna be missed
D9 D9 alt Dm Dm7
Gee, I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fun, fun to be kissed.
In the dark, now we will find
What the rest have left behind;
M7
Just let them dance -- we're gonna find ro-mance,
In the dark . . . in the dark.
