Softly As In A Morning Sunrise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Love came to me, gay a[Am]nd tender.
[Em]Love came to me, [Am]sweet surrender.
Her love [Em]came to me
in [B]bright [Em]romantic [Am]splendor.[B]
[Em]Thicker was she, [Am]faithful never,
thick[G]er was she [Am]and clever.
[D]So [G]will it be [F#]forever, [B]forever
[Em]Softly, as i[Am]n a morning sunris[Em]e
[Am]The light of love [Em]comes stealing
in[B]to a new -born [Em]day.
[B]Oh, fla[Em]ming with[Am] all the glow of s[Em]unrise,
[Am]a burning kiss is seal[Em]ing
[B]the vow that all betrayed.
[Em]Are the pass[Am]ions that thri[G]ll, love,
and lift you high to [Em]heaven?
Are the passions [Am]that kill,
love,
[F#]and let you fall to hell[B]?
So [Am]ends each [G]story[Baug][B]
[Em]Softly
[Am]As in an evening sunset[Em]
[Am]The light that gave [Em]you glory
[B]Will take it all [Em]away[Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Am][Em][B][Baug][Em][Am]
[Em]So the passi[B]ons that t[G]hrill lo[Em]ve
[G]and lift you high [Em]to h[E]eaven
[Em]are the passions t[Am]hat kill love
an[F#]d let you fall to [B]hell.
So [Am]ends each [Baug]story.[B][Am][B]
[Em]Soft[Am]ly, as in an evening sunset,
[Em]The [Am]light that gave you g[Em]lory,
[B]will take it all awa[Em]y.
