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 drug me off from thee a bit, 
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 
ut 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.
