It's getting late
and oh, so dark
We're lying skin to skin
And talking heart to heart
So many things to say
I don't know where to start
I'll keep my eyes wide open in the dark
You're telling
me there's something in the air
Danger's on the loose
No time to be prepared
There'll be no running out
There'll be no running scared
I'll keep my eyes wide open in the dark
Well the dark is
full of promises and secrets unfulfilled
There are ghouls and ghosts and skeletons
And dreams that have been killed
Take my hand, take my hand
Through this graveyard we shall walk
We shall find our way to daylight
While the night creatures stalk
So close your eyes
And try to hold on tight
I can't shield you from harm
But I'll try with all my might
Until the morning comes
And turns darkness into light
I'll keep my eyes wide open in the dark
I'll keep my eyes wide open in the dark
I'll keep my eyes wide open
