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
