Gently your eyes met mine

Tender, trusting, true

Gently your hand took mine

Thrilled me through and through



Gently, oh so gently

Gentle as the dawn

Gently, oh so gently

Our true love was born



Gently your lips kissed mine

As we strolled along

Gently your heart touched mine

Young and warm and strong



Gently the hour is near

When true loves have to part

Gently we'll meet again

One more kiss, sweetheart
