📝 Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise is a song with music by Sigmund Romberg and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II from the 1928 operetta The New Moon. One of the best-known numbers from the show, it is a song of bitterness and yearning for a lost love, sung in the show by Philippe (tenor), the best friend of the hero, Robert Mission (baritone).
The original song was composed as a tango, and features a dance as accompaniment to the choral reprise, but many versions of the song have changed the tempo completely (there have been many jazz renditions). The one featured in the 1940 film version of the operetta is sung as a cheerful ditty by Nelson Eddy while he shines his shoes, despite the melancholy nature of the song’s lyric.
The song is featured twice in Deep in My Heart, MGM’s 1954 musical biopic of Romberg, when it is sung by Betty Wand (dubbing for Tamara Toumanova) and by Helen Traubel.
📜 Lyrics:
Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day.
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
The vow that all betray.
For the passions that thrill love
And lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let you fall to hell
Softly as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away.
For the passions that thrill love
Lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let you fall to hell
Softly as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away.
