Softly, as in a morning sunrise

Softly, as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day, oh
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is stealing
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 each 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 newborn day, oh
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is stealing
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
And so ends each story

Softly, as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away
