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 [bad word] 
Trials where 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 [bad word] 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 hush tones.
Tell me your heart's [bad word] desire
Look far back into my eyes
Now we are in this together.

There was dearth in me, there was a lack
I couldn't see my heart
ut feared it was black
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 wisper with a kiss
Out into the light of love
That shone down on us from above
Speak to me, darling in hush tones.
Tell me your heart's [bad word] 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 wisper with a kiss
Out into the light of love
That shone down on us from above
