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 If you loved me too Yes, loved me in lonesome silence My heart filled with dark despair Thinking love would flame in me forever And you'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 as much grief Twice the strain for us Twice the despair Twice the pain for us As we had known before
