Lyrics
DARKEST HOUR
Dick Wagner
In my darkest hour,
You would come and treat me like a man.
In my darkest hour,
You would come and take me by my hand.
And I would spend my nights sleeping in your arms.
And I would spend my days dreaming of your charms.
In my darkest hour,
You would come and fill the emptiness
In my darkest hour,
You would come and put my mind to rest.
And I would spend my nights sleeping in your arms.
And I would spend my days dreaming of your charms.
Lady, lady, you're my heart's desire
Lady, Lady, you set my soul on fire.
You set my soul on fire.
You set my soul on fire.
Yes you do, yes you do.
Set my soul on fire.
Ohhhhhhh
I need you so bad
Yes I do.
In my darkest hour,
You would come and fill the emptiness.
In my darkest hour,
You would come and put my mind to rest.
And I would spend my nights sleeping in your arms.
I would spend my days dreaming of your charms.
Lady, lady, you're my heart's desire
Lady, lady, you set my soul on fire.
Yes you do. You set my soul on fire.
