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

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
