In The Dark 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 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, -5 And he begs me to please keep still in the dark. Bridge alt But soon, this dance will be endin' And you're gonna be missed alt 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; AM7 Just let them dance -- we're gonna find ro-mance, In the dark . . . in the dark.
