Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise Lyrics - The Nearness Of You - Helen Merrill

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
