Story behind the song
My family unexpectedly had a lovely quiet time at home during the power blackout which affected all of Northeastern North America on August 14, 2003. I wrote this song under a flashlight on that evening.
Lyrics
August 14-15, 2003©S. McGaughey Composed by flashlight during blackout of 2003 G- G-5- Em – Em7- A7- A7 – D- D7 or C – C9 – Am -Am7 – D7- D7- G G7 It's dark outside, Darkest in a hundred years But our heart fires will burn brightly As long as you are here I see your beauty framed In the flashlight's glow while the crickets sing their songs of love So soft and low No Matter how black it gets, In the darkest night As long as we're together Our home is filled with light I hear my little girl sing songs and make castles made of light I walk across the floor and hold her tight The star field makes a dance floor for a roving satellite As we sit our on the lawn and watch the symphony of night No Matter how black it gets, In the darkest night As long as we're together Our home is filled with light It's dark outside, Darkest in a hundred years But our heart fires will burn brightly As long as you are here
