Away far off across the sea
I saw a tiny light,
And though it seemed so far away
To me it seemed so bright.
It pierced the darkness all around
It took away the chill,
The heart I thought would never melt
Did now lie not so still.
And memories of a song that once
Had moved my soul to tears,
Came lightly to my mind and danced
A waltz upon my fears.
