Camelot movie - I Loved You Once in Silence lyrics

rate me

Song by Julie Andrews<br /><br>

I loved you once in silence<br>

And mis'ry was all I knew.<br>

Trying so to keep my love from showing,<br>

All the while not knowing you loved me too.<br>

Yes, loved me in lonesome silence;<br>

Your heart filled with dark despair.<br>

Thinking love would flame in you forever,<br>

And I'd never, never know the flame was there.<br>

Then one day we cast away our secret longing;<br>

The raging tide we held inside would hold no more.<br>

The silence at last was broken!<br>

We flung wide our prison door.<br>

Ev'ry joyous word of love was spoken.<br>

<br>

<br>

And now there's twice as much grief, <br>

Twice the strain for us;<br>

Twice the despair,<br>

Twice the pain for us<br>

As we had known before.<br>

<br>

<br>

And after all had been said, <br>

Here we are, my love,<br>

Silent once more,<br>

And not far, my love,<br>

From where we were before.<br>

<br>
