I always used to dread the dark

It reminded me of my empty heart

Lonely nights brought so much pain

And times I thought I would go insane

Had no one to talk to, nothing to do

Emotions ran from black to blue

I kept my thoughts bottled up inside

Felt so bad I thought I'd die

Chorus:

Yeah I have prayed

To the moon and stars

But I came out

All bruised and scarred

I never thought I would find a way

To see the light at the end of day

You saved my heart

You're my angel in the dark

Now darkness comes but I don't care

Because I know you'll be there

To keep me warm when the nights turn cold

Things like that stir my soul

I light a candle when you're gone

Then I don't feel so all alone

I see your spirit in the candlelight

It helps me make it through the night
