They met at the station
on the outskirts of town
she was headed to school

he was nowhere bound

he needed directions

she gave him a smile
they struck a conversation
that lasted for miles


they hardly knew each other
when they both realized

they saw their own future in each other's eyes

IN THE MIDDLE of THE NIGHT

LOST IN THE DARK
THEY FOUND WHAT THEY NEEDED
A BRAND NEW START

HEAD OVER HEELS INTO SOMETHING
LED ONLY BY A SPARK
THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP

A RUNAWAY HEART

she called her Daddy long distance

when the sun came up
told him what had happened
heard him drop his coffee cup

hung up a cried a little
no longer Daddy's little girl
held the hand of her first love and headed out into the world


They didn't know where they were going
But they knew from now on

they'd never be without
each other-never be alone


REPEAT CHORUS
IN THE MIDDLE of THE NIGHT
LOST IN THE DARK

THEY FOUND WHAT THEY NEEDED
A BRAND NEW START
HEAD OVER HEELS INTO SOMETHING

LED ONLY BY A SPARK
THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP
A RUNAWAY HEART


SOLO


...Now,twenty-some years later
she waits by the phone
her daughter calls from the station

says she's found a love of her own...

IN THE MIDDLE of THE NIGHT

LOST IN THE DARK
THEY FOUND WHAT THEY NEEDED
A BRAND NEW START

HEAD OVER HEELS INTO SOMETHING
LED ONLY BY A SPARK
THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP

A RUNAWAY HEART
