Light of Love

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 Then you took a hold of me And made me your own You pulled me up where I belong Though at 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 were 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 dragged me out from the abyss With a whisper, with a kiss Out into the light of love That shone down on us from above Speak to me, darling in hushed 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 could not see my heart But feared it was black You pulled me up where I belong Though at first it seemed so wrong To be scaling love's great heights Basking freely in its light You dragged me out from the abyss With a whisper, with a kiss Out into the light of love That shone down on us from above Speak to me, darling in hushed 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 at first it seemed so wrong To be scaling love's great heights Basking freely in its light You dragged me out from the abyss With a whisper, with a kiss Out into the light of love That shone down on us from above
