Speak Softly

Here I am
Like a helpless child
Here I am
Watching by your side
What did I do
That you're moving on?
It can't be true
It must be wrong
Speak Softly, my love

Your mind's free
Your soul's clean
The prettiest sight
I've ever seen
I close my eyes
And carry on with you
I sleep and rise
And sing your song
Speak Softly, my love
We're much too young
Just to say goodbye

You say to me
You've got to go
Give me the word
And I will follow:

I'm ready to jump
Into the world's deepest ocean
I'm ready to climb
To the top of the mountain
I'm ready to wait
Outside the gates of heaven
I'm ready to steal
On the dark side of the street
Speak Softly, my love
We didn't meet
Just to say goodbye
