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 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 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 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 life You dragged me up from the abyss With a whipser, 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 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 whipser, with a kiss Out into the light of love That shone down on us from above
