Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise Lyrics

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
