There was a time, my love
my heart had grown cold
My arms were reaching out for someone to hold
I was all mired in gloom and I was alone
you took a hold of me
and made me your own
you pulled me up where I belong
though first it seemed so wrong
To be scaling love's great heights
Basking freely in its light
I'd forgotten the things I knew, inside to be true
Trials where everywhere and pleasures were few
I drifted alone, in the ocean of life,
but then you pulled me, dear, from the waters of strife
you drug me off from thee a bit,
with a wisper with a kiss
Out into the light of love
That shone down on us from above
Speak to me, darling in hush tones.
Tell me your heart's true desire
Look far back into my eyes
Now we are in this together.
There was dearth in me, there was a lack
I couldn't see my heart
ut feared it was black
You pulled me up where I belong
though first it seemed so wrong
To be scaling love's great heights
Basking freely in its light
You dragged me up from the abyss
with a wisper with a kiss
Out into the light of love
That shone down on us from above
Speak to me, darling in hush tones.
Tell me your heart's true desire
Look far back into my eyes
Now we are in this together.
You pulled me up where I belong
though first it seemed so wrong
To be scaling love's great heights
Basking freely in its light
You dragged me up from the abyss
with a wisper with a kiss
Out into the light of love
That shone down on us from above
