"Love in the Shadows" is an uptempo pop song co-written and recorded by Neil Sedaka. The song became an international Top 20 hit in 1976.

The song reached number 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100[1] and spent two weeks at number 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[2]

The song was also a hit in Canada, charting quite closely to its U.S. peaks on both the Pop Singles chart (#18 for two weeks) as well as the Adult Contemporary chart (#6).
