Camille
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Through the dark of day your light came shinin' through
A golden ray of love that stretched from me to you
In my hour of need the whole world turned its back on me
You were there and not a word was said
A shoulder for my weary head
Camille
If I forsake you may I die
If I disgrace you may I cry
A thousand nights and never feel another moments love
My sweet Camille
I need your tenderness and all the love that's heaven-blessed
And all these things that we share together I owe to you
Camille
You were there and not a word was said
A shoulder for my weary head
Camille
If I forsake you may I die
If I disgrace you may I cry
A thousand nights and never feel another moments love
My sweet Camille
