I loved you once
In silence
And mis'ry was all
I knew
Trying so to keep
My love from
Showing
All the while
Not knowing
You loved me too
Yes loved me
In lonesome silence
Your heart filled
With dark despair
Thinking love would
Flame in you forever
And I'd never
Never know the
Flame was there
Then one day we
Cast away our
Secret longing
The raging tide
We held inside
Would hold no more
The silence at last
Was broken
We flung wide our
Prison door
Ev'ry joyous word
Of love was
Spoken
And now there's
Twice as much
Grief twice the
Strain for us
Twice the despair
Twice the pain
For us as we
Had known before
Trying so to keep
My love from
Showing all the
While
Not knowing you
Loved me too
Yes loved me in
Lonesome silence
Your heart filled
With dark despair
Thinking love would
Flame in you forever
And I'd never
Never know the
Flame was there
Then one day we
Cast away our
Secret longing
The raging tide
We held inside
Would hold no more
The silence at last
Was broken
We flung wide
Our prison door
Ev'ry joyous word
Of love was
Spoken
And after all had
Been said
Here we are
My love
Silent once more
And not far
My love from where
We were before
