Lyrics
The sunlight dims
I scan the darkened sky
The rain begins
The wind goes rushing by
My heart's alone
Against the growing night
But this would be my light
To know you loved me
What have I been
A friend to share your life
Some one to bring
You comfort in the night?
My heart and soul are lying at your feet
'Twould make my life complete
To know you loved me
Chorus:
To know you loved me
Would make these haunting shadows go away
To know you loved me
Would turn the darkest night time into day
I wish that you could see
How much this means to me
My need will always be
To know you loved me
The silence speaks
And fills my heart with fear
Please say to me
The words I long to hear
Time flies away
Don't let this moment go
And steal my chance to know
To know you loved me
