Piano In The Dark
Jennifer Rush · Other Songs - Jennifer Rush
I never think about
All the funny things youÂ’ve said
I feel like itÂ’s dead
Where is it leading me now
I turn around in the still of the room
Knowing this is when
IÂ’m gonna make my move
CanÂ’t wait any longer
And IÂ’m feeling stronger
But oh
Just as I walk to the door
I can feel your emotion here
ItÂ’s pulling me back
Back to love you
Oh no, caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When IÂ’m think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
He holds me close like a beat of the heart
He plays the melody
Wants to tear me apart
The silence is broken
And no words are spoken
But oh
Just as I walk to the door
I can feel your emotion here
ItÂ’s pulling me back
Back to love you
Oh no, caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When IÂ’m think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
