In the Dark of the Lonely Night

(start 1:06)In the dark of the lonely night When the stars don't give forth their bright light And the ocean's waves are so still Please embrace me Emmanuel In the dark of the lonely night My love for you is just so right Emmanuel you're my guiding light Emmanuel 1:32 (minutes into the song) Come to me oh my love My dearest Turtledove Come to me and hold me now You're gentle touch is so envigorating somehow Inspiring, enchanting, enchanting Oh! my love In the dark of the lonely night My love for you is just so right Emmanuel you're my guiding light Emmanuel my love Written: Friday, November 22, 2013 Sponsor: Craig Cornish Contest: Emmanuel Lyrical written to Toots Thieleman's instrumental Emmanuel
