Lyrics
My heart was lighted by
The flame of your love
And now I’m wond’ring
What became of your love
Where there was flame
There’s not even a spark
Where there was light
All is gloomy and dark
Chorus
Night in my heart instead of noon
Night in my heart without a moon
Why did love start to end so soon
And leave this night in my heart?
Now you’re away skies won’t be bright
Try as I may to see the light
Day after day there’s only night
Just endless night in my heart
I could pretend it’s always the darkest
Just before dawn
But why pretend? I know it’s the darkest
When love has gone, then there’s no dawn
Oh, what can I do? What have I done?
I know that you are still the one
You could shine through like morning sun
And end this night in my heart
