Hi all!

I've been trying to identify this song for decades, ever since I first watched the 1988 Italian film Intimo, also released as Midnight Seduction, on cable in 1991.

I recently discovered that the film's credits mention CAM Edizioni Musicali, which got me wondering whether this could be an obscure Italian production-library recording.

The song features a female vocalist singing in English. It first plays around four minutes into the movie during a fashion runway sequence, appears elsewhere in the film, and plays more extensively during the end credits.

The principal recurring lyric sounds like "Wanna be tender in the dark, be tender in the dark with you."

Other lyrics I've been able to make out include:

"On a cold, cold night, I'll warm you like the sun."

"Don't wanna be just another lover, wanna be your number one."

"What do I have to do to make this dream come true?"

"You're like a room without a door, come on, show me how to get to you."

"I'll do anything to please, if you promise not to tease."

These are transcribed by ear, so some words may be slightly different.

I've checked the songs actually listed in the film's end credits, none of them are it.

Interestingly, I found two different compositions titled Tender in the Dark in SIAE's repertoire database. One credits Edward Safley Tree, Jim Bacon and Bobby Ward, with United Artists Music and Extra Measure Music among the publishers. The other credits Mark A. Bauman and R. Jon, with Song International as publisher. I haven't established whether either is the song in the film and I've not found them on Youtube.

Here's the complete movie on YouTube:

I wonder if it could be from a CAM production-library album or another Italian library catalog? It might have been in some other movie or tv show.

Any leads would be hugely appreciated. Thanks very much!
