SOFTLY AS IN A MORNING SUNRISE

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 stealing The vow that all betray All the passions that thrill love And lift you high to heaven All the passion that kill love And let you far away So ends each story Softly as in an evening sunset The lights that gave you glory Will take it all away 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 stealing The vow that all betray All the passions that thrill love And lift you high to heaven All the passion that kill love And let you far away So ends each story Softly as in an evening sunset The lights that gave you glory Will take it all away
