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
