I Loved You Once In Silence

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
