Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise (The New Moon)

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
