Softly as in a Morning Sunrise

Softly as in a Morning Sunrise
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
