| 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 |
