Hey I can't I say that I love you 
I cant' say that I don't 
I cant 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
