| Hey I can’t I say that I love you
 | 
| I can’t' say that I don’t
 | 
| I can’t say that I couldn’t
 | 
| And I won’t say that I won’t
 | 
| But I really like your company
 | 
| I’m enjoying myself no end
 | 
| But I can’t keep from thinking
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
 | 
| Make it warm and burning bright
 | 
| I’ll not say nothing
 | 
| I’ll be polite
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
 | 
| Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
 | 
| Tar abhaile liom a gra
 | 
| Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
 | 
| Tar abhaile liom
 | 
| Ah life’s too short for wasting
 | 
| For ifs and might have been’s
 | 
| Life’s too short for wondering if
 | 
| You could have lived your dreams
 | 
| And its way too short for loneliness
 | 
| We don’t have to be
 | 
| Now that we trust each other
 | 
| Why don’t you stay with me?
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
 | 
| Make it warm and burning bright
 | 
| I’ll not say nothing
 | 
| I’ll be polite
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
 | 
| Repeat Gaelic chorus (Brid Dooley)
 | 
| When the world belongs to distant dogs
 | 
| And the air is dark and still
 | 
| And drunken conversations pass beneath the window sill
 | 
| And there’s someone singing
 | 
| Elvis songs as they make their way back home
 | 
| And all your fears and worries
 | 
| Attack when you’re alone
 | 
| When you’re alone, when you’re alone, when you’re alone
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
 | 
| Make it warm and burning bright
 | 
| I’ll not say nothing
 | 
| I’ll be polite
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
 | 
| Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
 | 
| Tar abhaile liom a gra
 | 
| Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
 | 
| Tar abhaile liom
 | 
| Why don’t we share the darkness tonight |
