Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day
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 the story
Softly, as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

So ends the story
Softly, as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away
Will take it all away
So softly
