Strum
D-DU-UDU
One  light  shines  in the drive
One  single sign
 That our house is alive.
Our  house,  our own
 So why do  I
 Live  there alone?
 Tell me why I
Wait  through the night,
 And why do I
 Leave  on the light?
You  know—I  know,
 Our house was
 A home  long ago.
 Take this chance,
 'Cause it may be  our last
 To be free,
 To let go of  the past,
 And to  try,
 To be husband  and wife,
 To let our love never  die
 Or to just  live our life.
 Take my hand,
 And let me take  you heart,
 Keep it far
 From what keeps us  apart
 Let us start
 With a light  in the dark.
Night  falls,
I  stare at the walls.
  Diana: I stare at these walls...
I  wake and wander  the halls
  Diana: I get lost in these halls...
 And I ache  to the bone...
  Diana: It's like nothing I've known...
I  can't get through  this alone.
 Take this chance,
 And we'll make a  new start
 Somewhere  far
 From what keeps us  apart,
 And I swear  that somewhere
 In the night
 There's a light
 A light in the dark.
