Softly as in a Morning Sunrise lyrics

Love came to me, gay and tender

Love came to me, sweet surrender

Love came to me in bright romantic splendour

Fickle was she, faithful never

Fickle was she and clever

So will it be, forever, forever

Softly as in a morning sunrise

The light of love comes stealing

Into a new born day

Oh! Flaming with all the glow of sunrise

A burning kiss is sealing

The vow that all betray

For the passions that thrill love

And lift you high to Heaven

Are the passions that kill love

And let you fall to Hell

So ends each story!

Softly as in an evening sunset

The light that gave you glory

Will take it all away

For the passions that thrill love

And lift you high to Heaven

Are the passions that kill love

And let you fall to Hell

So ends each story!

Softly as in an evening sunset

The light that gave you glory

Will take it all away
