Lyrics I Loved You Once in Silence (from 'Camelot') - Julie Andrews

I Loved You Once in Silence (from 'Camelot')

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
Thinking 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 insid would hold no more
The silenc 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
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
