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 nights 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
Speak softly, love
Speak softly, love so no one hears
We’re in a world
Our very own, sharing a love
A love that only few have ever known
So hold me warm against your heart
Speak softly, love
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights 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
So softly love
So softly love
