The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Walking sadly through the park I hear crying in the darkness And though I act like I cannot hear The situation is very clear A girl who's trying to tell her guy The time has come that they say goodbye And his answer tears my heart apart Chorus: Give me tonight Baby if you don't want to stay Girl, I'll just go get you You'll see I'm right You won't get to go away Love ain't gonna let you Walking with you through the park Now it's my voice in the darkness Just like a girl trying to tell her guy I'm telling you we must say goodbye I can't believe when I hear once more The very words that were said before Comes from deep within your broken heart Your voice echo's in the dark, your voice echo's in the dark Chorus I give you one more night Chorus I'll give you one more night His voice echo's in the darkness Chorus (2x)
