Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. June 2001.

[Philippe] Love came to me gay and tender,
love came to me, sweet surrender,

love came to me
in bright romantic splendour.

Fickle was she, faithful never;
fickle was she and clever.

So it will be for ever,
for ever.

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!

[Phillipe and Chorus] Softly, as in a morning sunrise,
the light of love comes stealing
into a new born day.

Ah! 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!
