I Loved You Once In Silence

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Yes, loved me in lonesome silence
Your heart filled with dark despair
Thinking love would flame in you forever
And I'd never, never know the flame was there

[Verse 3]
Then one day we cast away our secret longing
The raging tide we held insidе would hold no more
The silencе, at last, was broken
We flung wide our prison door
Every joyous word of love was spoken

[Verse 4]
And now there's twice as much grief
Twice the strain for us
Twice the despair
Twice the pain for us
As we had known before

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
And now there's twice as much grief
Twice the strain for us
Twice the despair
Twice the pain for us
As we had known before
