SOMEONE IN THE DARK (E.T. EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, 1982)

"I'll be right here."- E.T.

Probably one of the greatest movie themes that never made it to the big screen was this charming song sung by the late Michael Jackson for the movie E.T. Extra-Terrestrial. The movie, hailed as one of the greatest films ever made has a very moving score that even without a theme stands firmly on its own. Imagine incorporating the unreleased song and it would make a different impact on the movie. The family movie that never fails the author to shed a tear.

SOMEONE IN THE DARK
sung by: Michael Jackson

All alone, wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night, I knew I would see
A stranger who’d be my friend

When someone in the dark
Reaches out to you
And touches off a spark
That comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
When somewhere in your heart
You can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm
When the night winds blow
Like it was written in a stars, I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you

Promise me, we’ll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My star secret friend and me

When someone in the dark

Reaches out to you

And touches off a spark

That comes shining through

It tells you never be afraid

When somewhere in your heart

You can feel the glow

A light to keep you warm

When the night winds

Look for the rainbow in the sky
I believe you and I could never really say goodbye
Wherever you maybe, I’ll look up and see
Someone in the dark, for me

Wherever you maybe, I’ll look up and see

Someone in the dark, for me
