Story Behind The Song
My high school girlfriend was killed by her husband about a decade after I last saw her (the night I also met him). She was beautiful. In my dreams she still looks, smells sounds, like she did all those years ago.

Lyrics
I think about your eyes all the time
At night it's overwhelming
I try to block them out of my mind
They're too bright I still see them shining
In the darkness
I see your smile, I hear you speak
I smell your honey hair so sweet
I taste your jelly lips, feel your fingertips
Touching me
In the darkness I see you the best
Haunting my unconsciousness
Never aging, always beautiful
Like apparitions and angels
In night and day dreams
It's always you and me
If I could sleep forever
You would never leave me
In the darkness I see you the best
Haunting my unconsciousness
Never aging, always beautiful
Like apparitions and angels
In the darkness I see you the best
Haunting my unconsciousness
In the darkness I see you the best
In the darkness, In the darkness
