Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise

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 again

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 again
So ends the story

Softly, as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away
