[Chorus]
Walk softly, when you walk by me
My heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up (walk softly, baby)
Don't wake it up (softly, my love)
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up
[Verse 1]
(Hush)
If I seem distant and reserved when we meet
Don't take the time to ask me why
'Cos it's bad enough that I've lost you
Don't make it worse
Just say hello, say goodbye
[Chorus]
Walk softly, when you walk by me
My heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up (walk softly, baby)
Don't wake it up (softly, my love)
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up
[Verse 2]
(Hush)
I fall apart each time I look in your eyes
Remembering things I should forget
My love's a spark, but it could burst into flame
'Cause I'm not over you yet
[Chorus]
Walk softly, when you walk by me
My heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
[Outro]
Now that I've cried myself to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
Now that I've cried myself to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
Now that I've cried myself to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up...
