Lyrics
- I recall the mad delight of a lovely dance
And a stroll into a night, trembling with romance
There he told me of my charms, how could I resist?
Suddenly within his arms I was held and kissed
Refrain
Oh, that kiss in the dark was to him just a lark
But to me ’twas a thrill supreme
Just a kiss in the dark but it kindled the spark
The awak’ning of love’s young dream
- That was love in all it’s power, yet today it seems
Like a sweet but fleeting hour, in the land of dreams
There we parted in the dawn, he had played a part
But the mem’ry lingered on in my trembling heart
Sung here by Fred Feild:
