In This Dark Night

We are in this dark night, you and I,

and these are truly troubled times;

yet this is the night I knew you

and this is the night you knew all that’s mine.

In these troubled times,

you saw my weakness and my strength,

and you understood me far better

than on days when the sun was bright.

Yes, in this dark night we became closer,

as we held each other, you and I;

We became allies, we became friends,

as we fought together, side by side.

When the day comes, as it surely will,

I will gather the treasures I’ve found in the night,

in the darkness where I knew how to love,

as we held each other, you and I.
