A Kiss In The Dark

[Verse 1]
I re-call the mad de-light
Of a love-ly dance,
And a stroll in-to a night,
Tremb-ling with ro-mance.
There he told me of my charms,
How could I re-sist?
Sud-den-ly with-in his arms
I was held and kissed!
[Chorus]
Oh, that Kiss in the dark
Was to him just a lark,
But to me 'twas a thrill su-preme!
Just a Kiss in the dark
But it kin-dled the spark,
The a-wak-'ning of love's young dream!
[Verse 2]
That was love in all its pow'r;
Yet to-day it seems
Like a sweet but fleet-ing hour,
In the land of dreams,
There we part-ed in the dawn,
He had played a part;
But the mem-'ry lin-gered on
In my tremb-ling heart.
[Repeat chorus]
