I loved you once in silence And misery was all I knew Trying so to keep my love from showing All the while not knowing you loved me too Yes, loved me in lonesome silence Your heart filled with dark despair Thinking love would flame in you forever And I'd never, never know the flame was there Then one day we cast away our secret longing The raging tide we held inside would hold no more The silence at last was broken We flung wide our prison door Every joyous word of love was spoken And now there's twice as much grief Twice the strain for us Twice the despair Twice the pain for us As we had known before The silence at last was broken We flung wide our prison door Every joyous word of love was spoken And after all had been said here we are, my love Silent once more and not far, my love From where we were before
