It's Better in the Dark - Tony Martin

It’s better in the dark

It’s better in the dark

The light will just upset her

It’s better in the dark

Her eyes will start to spark

Your lips will find their mark

You wanna hug and pet her

It’s better in the dark

Oh the sun is the enemy of romance

In the daytime romantically there’s no chance

You will find that the lady will care a lot

If you’ll take where the sun is not

When the lights in the parlor are brightly lit

How can sweethearts do anything else but sit

All the world Thomas Edison helped a lot

Did he help the lovers

He did not!

Hand in hand

They were strolling like lovers do

Beneath the street lamp

They started to fiddle and coo

When her father

Who noticed them from above

Shouted down and said

If you’re in love

It’s better in the dark

It’s better in the dark
