Lyrics
SOFT
Soft, soft as a morning in the Spring
Soft as the little song you sing
While you're brushing your hair
.and you are:
Warm, warm as the sleep that clings to me
Warm as the stir of memory
Like a fragrance you wear
I never knew.I could behave so tenderly
Not until you.brought out the gentle man in me
Soft, soft as a sigh you come to me
Showing me what you need from me
And how deeply your care
I never knew.I could behave so tenderly
Not until you.brought out the gentle man in me
Soft, softly as April turns to May
Softly I turn to you and say
Stay with me
Say you'll always be
Soft and warm for me
