Softly

I remember that kiss in a cold world, oh, girl
Sunlight fell from your lips, tenderly you shattered me
Somehow you touched me like no one else
Slipped into my soul like a prayer

Baby, with the sweetest kiss
Came along and stole my breath
Tore down my defenses with a whisper

Oh, you showed me how love can be
You broke through to my heart
Softly, baby, softly

You're like God in this world, fragile, beautiful
There's so much trust in your eyes
They make me remember blue skies and sunshine
I wanna be what you see in me
I wanna love you the way that you love me

Baby, with the sweetest kiss
You came along and stole my breath
Tore down my defenses with a whisper

Oh, you show me how love can be
You break through to my heart
Softly

I don't wanna be that strong
If it means being alone
I wanna stay with you where I belong

And let you show me just how good love can be
You break through to my heart
Softly, baby, softly
Softly, baby, softly
