Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise

Softly as in a morning sunrise
Are the passions that kill love
Softly as in a morning sunrise
And take you high to heaven
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
Softly as it fades away

A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

A vow that all betray
So ends the story

A burning kiss is sealing
Softly as it fades away
Softly as it fades away
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
Into a newborn day
And let it fall to hell
The light of love comes stealing
For the passions that thrill love
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away
For the passions that thrill love

So ends the story
The light that gave you glory

And take you high to heaven
Will take it all away
Softly as in a morning sunrise

Are the passions that kill love
And let it fall to hell
Into a newborn day
