Softly as in a morning sunrise

The light of love comes stealing

Into a new born 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 away

So ends the story

Softly as in an evening sunset

The light that gave you glory

Will take it all away

Softly as in a morning sunrise

The light of love comes stealing

Into a new born 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 away

And so ends the story

Softly as in an evening sunset

The light that gave you glory

Will take it all away
