Speak Softly Love
Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart.
I feel your words the tender trembling moments start.
We're in a world__our very own,
Sharing a love that only few have ever known.
Wine colored days warmed by the sun,
Deep velvet night__when we are one.
Speak softly love so no one hears us but the sky.
The vows of love we make will live until we die.
My life is yours__and all because
You came into my world with love, so softly love.
__Instrumental__
Wine colored days warmed by the sun,
Deep velvet night__when we are one.
Speak softly love so no one hears us but the sky.
The vows of love we make will live until we die.
My life is yours_and all because
You came into my world with love, so softly love.
