A Kiss In The Dark - 1922

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 26 Mar 2002

I recall the sweet delight
Of a lovely dance,
And a stroll into a night,
Trembling with romance.
We beheld a starry sky
No one could resist;
Then without our knowing why,
We embraced and kissed!
Oh, that Kiss in the dark
Like the song of the lark,
Fill'd my heart with a thrill supreme!
Just a kiss in the dark
But it kindled the spark,
My awak'ning to love's young dream!
That was love in all its pow'r;
Yet today it seems
Like a sweet but fleeting hour,
In the land of dreams.
There we parted in the dawn,
He had played a part;
But the mem'ry lingered on
In my trembling heart.
Oh, that Kiss in the dark
Like the song of the lark,
Fill'd my heart with a thrill supreme!
Just a kiss in the dark
But it kindled the spark,
My awak'ning to love's young dream!
