DARK
(Edwin Greines)

as recorded by Julie London
with The Spencer-Hagen Orchestra
1957

Twelve o'clock and cold outside and dark,
Moonless night and such a frightful dark!
Everything is strange and weird,
Cheerful scenes have disappeared
Since you've gone.

Passers by all wonder why it's dark,
Not a sound is heard around the dark!
Will it always be this way?
Will I see a brighter day?
Please come back and chase away the dark!

Passers by all wonder why it's dark,
Not a sound is heard around the dark!
Will it always be this way?
Will I see a brighter day?
Please come back and chase away the dark!
