Washington, Dinah - Romance In The Dark Lyrics






In the dark, it's just you and I
There's not a sound and there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark

Now, in the dark I get such a thrill
Well, well, when he places his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me, "Please be still
In the dark"

But soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna, you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear it's fun, it's fun to be kissed
In the dark, in the dark

Now we will find
Oh, what the rest, what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we're gonna find romance
In the dark

  4. T.... L....

    Simply put , nobody could deliver a song like Dinah.

  5. G.... L....

    In the dark, it's just you and I
    There's not a sound and there's not one sigh
    Just the beat of my poor heart
    In the dark
    Now, in the dark I get such a thrill
    Well, well, when he places his fingertips upon my lips
    And he begs me, "Please be still
    In the dark"
    But soon this dance will be ending
    And you're gonna, you're gonna be missed
    Gee, but I'm not pretending
    Cause I swear it's fun, it's fun to be kissed
    In the dark, in the dark
    Now we will find
    Oh, what the rest, what the rest have left behind
    Just let them dance 'cause we're gonna find romance
    In the dark

  6. P.... S....

    Cold jaz sexy rendition and wonderful clear voice

  7. E.... S....

    Oh Dinah, Dinah, Dinah!!!! Yessssss!

  8. O.... ....

    And nine months later ...

  9. M.... L....

    Typical Dinah, bluesy, slow,  and sensual.  Aretha Franklin may have sung this song but the Songwriters were:  Victor Young, Phil Boutelje and Ned Washington.

    M.... L....

    You have to listen to Nina Simone's version.

  10. S.... M....

    in the dark

  11. S.... ....

    Aretha Franklin is not the author of this song. Not sure why the notes say that...

  12. J.... C....

    lovely slow sensual song...you're are a romantic man I think Jim....thank you again... x

    J.... C....

    J.. Thks..glad you like my song...she was a great singer.
    Jim...

  13. G.... F....

    Soulful and sexy, Dinah Washington had a way to make you feel warm all over and give you a chill all at once. AMAZING!

  14. C.... ....

    I heard a clip of this song in a new Guinness beer commercial. It loops the sax part. It's absolutely beautiful.

  15. T.... N....

    Mmmm,i love it

  16. W.... W....

    Love this song and the way she sings it. Always felt Dinah didn't get all the credit she deserved.

  17. B.... W....

    Proof that you can't keep the Irish out of the World Cup....A Guinness commercial brought me here.

    B.... W....

    Loved Guinness; had to cut them loose. They caved into the prevailing tide of embracing homosexuality, as some kind of 'brave, noble stance' and all that crap. I'm through with them.

    B.... W....

    Brendan Walsh same here. Just recently, I've been going crazy with how I knew this song, then I found an old comment of mine here

  18. d.... m....

    Timeless

  19. M.... h....

    A great song by a great singer

  20. c.... b....

    Let 'em dance, and we're gonna find romance in the dark.

  21. E.... W....

    I just love it! Just heard Catherine Russell sing the song. The singers are many years apart, one has already passed. But the song lingers on. Great song writing, all you need are great singers to pass the song along to other generations!!! Such a sexy song, for a minute I got caught up in the song, I thought was being kissed!!!!

  22. T.... ....

    RIP Lil Green, who wrote and performed this in 1940 too

  23. j.... ....

    Just heard Catherine Russell do this live...very good

  24. S.... I....

    I wanna dance with ISCHA

  25. M.... K....

    beautiful song!!

  26. T.... ....

    Dinah .... golden voice

  27. J.... D....

    Dinah, You are the only one that makes my heart exploed.
