All these years you've stood beside me
I won't even stand behind
You touch my heart like no one else
without even breaking the skin
I turn the pages of your soul,
my future lies between your lines
We've built a trust of stone in a world made of glass
no, we won't be broken

You are a long kiss goodnight
you're my angel in the darkness
You are the rain outside when I can't sleep
you're my angel in the darkness

One word from you can touch a million things inside
you touch me all the time
The way I know you would look at me...
I laugh in the face of the emptiness
I cool your fire, you calm my storm
your arms the only place to hide
Our souls have danced together since the begining of Time
our hearts just catching up

A beacon in the middle of the ocean
you're my angel in the darkness
The familiar voice in a crowd of strangers
you're my angel in the darkness

Long ago you stole my heart so selfishly
the best thing you could've ever done for me
In every moment that you'll render me breathless
the world will melt away and leave me with our love
The shimmering light in my heart's dark chambers
when the pain tries to paint it black
Possessing all that I could ever want or need
you're everything

Peace in a world that screams hatred
you're my angel in the darkness
Strong hands when mine are shaking
you're my angel in the darkness
