Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise
Emotional Tale of Love's Fickle Nature
Lyrics
Love came to me
Love came into my life.
Gay and tender
Love was joyful and gentle.
Love came to me
Love came to me again.
Sweet surrender
Love brought a sense of sweet surrender.
Love came to me
Love came to me once more.
In bright romantic splendor
Love appeared in a bright and romantic manner.
Fickle was she
The nature of love was capricious.
Faithful never
She (love) was not faithful.
Fickle was she
Love's nature was changeable.
And clever
Love was both fickle and intelligent.
So will it be,forever, forever
The characteristics of love, both fickle and clever, will persist eternally.
Softly, as in a morning sunrise
Describes a moment like the softness of a morning sunrise.
The light of love comes stealing
The light of love enters subtly.
Into a new born day, oh
Describing the newborn day as passionate and full of love's radiance.
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
Love is intense, like the burning glow of sunrise.
A burning kiss is sealing
A passionate kiss seals a vow that may be betrayed.
The vow that all betray
Refers to the betrayals that may occur due to passionate emotions.
For the passions that thrill love
Passions that bring ecstasy and elevate to heaven.
And lift you high to heaven
Warning that the same passions can lead to the downfall of love.
Are the passions that kill love
Describing the conclusion of the love story.
And let you fall to hell
Similar to the morning sunrise, but in the context of an evening sunset.
So ends the story
The light that once glorified will fade away.
Softly, as in an evening sunset
Love's glory will eventually diminish, like the fading light of an evening sunset.
The light that gave you glory
Indicating the transient nature of glory and love.
Will take it all away
The same light that brought glory will take it away.
