Love Came Lightly - Brigham Phillips, John Herberman, Cait Agus Sean

Quietly as rose buds opening in sunlight

Silently, as tears fall

From the eyes of lovers

(Chorus)

Love came so lightly

I knew not that he had come

Love came so lightly

I knew not that he was there

Softly as a morning rain

In a deep green forest

Silent as a moonlit night

Silent as a heartbeat

Love came so lightly

I knew not that he had come

Love came so lightly

I knew not that he was there

Love is a quiet prayer

Caught on a breath of air

Finding me unaware

I was dreaming

Love is a silent prayer

Of ancient and dark rain

We tremble, but can’t explain

What we’re feeling

Softly as a morning rain

In a deep green forest

Silent as a moonlit night

Silent as a heartbeat

Love came so lightly

I knew not that he had come

Love came so lightly

I knew not that he was there

Love is a quiet prayer

Caught on a breath of air

Finding me unaware

I was dreaming

Love is a silent rain

Of ancient and dark refrain

We tremble, but can’t explain

What we’re feeling

Love is a quiet prayer

Caught on a breath of air

Finding me unaware,

I was dreaming

Love is a silent rain

Of ancient and dark refrain

We tremble, but can’t explain

What we’re feeling…
