6   7    7    8  7  -7 -7
I loved you once in silence 

7  -8 -8  -8  -9 -8  7
And mis-ry was all I knew.

8 -9   9  9  -10  9  -9    8   -8 -8
Trying so to keep my love from showing

8  -8    7    -6    6   7  -8  -7   7  -8
All the while, not knowing you loved me too.

6     7    7  7   8   7   -7  7
Yes, loved me in lonesome silence,

7   -8    -8      -8   -9  -8   7
Your heart filled with dark despair.

8  -9     9    9   -10    9  -9  8-8-8
Thinking love would flame in you forever

8  -8   7 -6  6    7   -6   -7   7
And I'd never know the flame was there.

7   -8   8   7  -6  -7 7  -6 -6 -7    7  7
Then one day we cast away our secret longing.

8  8 -10   9   8   7  -8 8     7    -6   7  -8
The raging tide we held inside would hold no more.

6   7  7   7   8    7  -7 -7 
The silence at last was broken

7  -8   -8   -8   -9 -8  7
We flung wide our prison door.

8 -9   9  9  -10  9  -9   8   -8 -8
Ev-ry joyous word of love was spoken

     8   7   -6      6    6   7   -8
(1) and now there's twice as much grief,

      6    6    7    7  -8     7    7   8 -9
    twice the stress for us; twice the despair

      7    7   8    8  -9 9   8  7    7   -8 7
    twice the pain for us as we had known before.

(2) and after all had been said
    Here we are my love; silent over more
    And not far my love from where we were before.

--repeat from "then one day..." pick up (2) and end.
