I Loved You Once In Silence Lyrics & Chords By Julie Andrews

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
Knowing 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 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
