Don't Let the Darkness Touch You

When time moves on to fast it seems
To leave you in the dark
Like an island in an endless sea
A flame without a spark

And somewhere in the past you dreamed
You'd fallen on the truth
But the truth can cut you like a knife
When you least expect it to

Oh Donna the tears that you're crying
Can wash away the sadness tonight
You know you're gonna have to keep trying
Until you see the first light

Don't let the darkness touch you
It can leave it's mark
On a hungry heart
Don't let the darkness touch you
When all hope is gone
Just keep on holding on

You're not the only one to feel
The end has finally come
Just because you're sleeping on your own
Seems like everything's gone wrong

But where there's life there's hope you see
Your time will come again
Hold on to me before you fall
Let me help you light the way

Oh Donna the tears that you're crying
Can wash away the sadness tonight
You know you're gonna have to keep trying
Until you see the first light

Don't let the darkness touch you
It can leave it's mark
On a hungry heart
Don't let the darkness touch you
When all hope is gone
Just keep on holding on

And someday soon you'll wake to find
That you've left the past behind
And you never really needed what you wanted

And the cage that held you fast
Was never really built to last
The time will come to spread your wings and fly away

Don't let the darkness touch you
It can leave it's mark
On a hungry heart
Don't let the darkness touch you
When all hope is gone
Just keep on holding on

Don't let the darkness touch you
