BURT BACHARACH - Painted From Memory lyrics

rate me

In The Darkest Place

In the darkest place

I know

That is where you'll find me

Even though you didn't have to remind me

I shut out the light

Your eyes adjust

They'll never be the same

You know I love you so

Let's start again

Since you put me down

It seems

I've been very gloomy

You may laugh

But pretty girls look right through me

They don't sense the pain just glimmering

That is the torch I bear

There's light enough for me to find my way

But I only have to tell myself that by now you could be with someone

else

There's no light beneath your door and laughter from within

Do your friends come around saying, "Try to find another lover"

He won't love you like I do

In the darkest place

I'm lost

I have abandoned every hope

Maybe you'll understand

I must shut out the light
