Dark Side Of My Heart

David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff

All my life I've been searching

For something to fill my heart

For the flame of emotion

Or maybe just the spark

I was lost on an island

In the deep blue sea

But you came, out of nowhere,

To rescue me



When it seemed a long way to go

Your love was there to take me home



If you believe in the darkest hour

It can take you to the higher ground

And if you love somebody

That love won't let you down

I was so blind 'til I met you

I was just about to fall apart

Then you came to me to

Shine your light

On the dark side of my heart



In my world full of shadow

Love was a refugee

But your heart was the homeland

Calling me



When it seemed that

All hope was gone

It was you that helped me carry on



If you believe in the darkest hour

It can take you to the higher ground

And if you love somebody

That love won't let you down

I was so blind 'til I met you

I was just about to fall apart

Then you came to me

To shine your light

On the dark side of my heart



Oh baby

Just in time for me baby

With its soaring vocals and anthemic chorus, the recording became an instant radio staple, reinforcing Hasselhoff's image as a charismatic pop icon. The track remains a staple of his discography, often performed live and celebrated for its ability to capture the optimism and theatrical flair of late 1980s American pop music.
