helen merrill
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 splendor 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 the story Softly, as in an evening sunset The light that gave you glory Will take it all away
