Speak soft ly, (Dm)love and hold me (Gm)warm a gainst your (Dm)heart.

I feel your words, the ten der, trem bling mo ments (Gm)start.

Deep vel vet (Eb)nights

when we are (A7)one.

Speak soft ly, (Dm)love, so no one (Gm)hears us but the (Dm)sky.

My life is (Gdim7)yours

and all be (Dm)cause

You came in (Bb)to my world with (A7)love so soft ly, (Dm)love.
