Words Said in the Dark

If I tell you, I love you
 Let the words I say
 Ring as true tomorrow
 As they do today
 Show me that you are listening
 With an open heart
 Tell me, you will remember
 These words said in the dark
 If I make a confession
 Promise that I do tell
 Let your lips be silent
 As a broken wishing well
 Like a heart shaped locket
 If we're ever apart
 Slip it into your pocket
 These words said in the dark
 See the candle flicker
 Down to just a spark
 Hold tight to this moment
 These words said in the dark
 See the candle flicker
 Down to just a spark
 Hold tight to this moment
 These words said in the dark
 When the sun comes climbing
 Like a bandit into your head
 Dogs outside are barking
 The cobwebs from your head
 And the harsh light of morning
 Don't you take it to heart
 Darling, nothing will change these
 Words said in the dark
 See the candle flicker
 Down to just a spark
 Hold tight to this moment
 These words said in the dark
 Oh, hold tight to this moment
 These words said in the dark
