When time moves on to fast it seems

To leave you in the dark

Like an island in an endless sea

A flame without a spark

And somewhere in the past you dreamed

You'd fallen on the truth

But the truth can cut you like a knife

When you least expect it to

Oh Donna the tears that you're crying

Can wash away the sadness tonight

You know you're gonna have to keep trying

Until you see the first light

Don't let the darkness touch you

It can leave it's mark

On a hungry heart

Don't let the darkness touch you

When all hope is gone

Just keep on holding on

You're not the only one to feel

The end has finally come

Just because you're sleeping on your own

Seems like everything's gone wrong

But where there's life there's hope you see

Your time will come again

Hold on to me before you fall

Let me help you light the way

Oh Donna the tears that you're crying

Can wash away the sadness tonight

You know you're gonna have to keep trying

Until you see the first light

Don't let the darkness touch you

It can leave it's mark

On a hungry heart

Don't let the darkness touch you

When all hope is gone

Just keep on holding on

And someday soon you'll wake to find

That you've left the past behind

And you never really needed what you wanted

And the cage that held you fast

Was never really built to last

The time will come to spread

Your wings and fly away

Don't let the darkness touch you

It can leave it's mark

On a hungry heart

Don't let the darkness touch you

When all hope is gone

Just keep on holding on

Don't let the darkness touch you

Don't let the darkness touch you

Don't let the darkness touch you
