Walk softly on this heart of mine, love

Don't treat it mean and so unkind

Let it rest in peace and quiet, love

Walk softly on this heart of mine



You say you're sorry once again, dear

You want me to take you back once more

You say you need a helping hand, dear

That's what you told me once before



Walk softly on this heart of mine, love

Don't treat it mean and so unkind

Let it rest in peace and quiet, love

Walk softly on this heart of mine



I know you soon will find a new love

I feel your heart is turned to stone

Please let me down real easy

Loneliness moves in as you move on



Walk softly on this heart of mine, love

Don't treat it mean and so unkind

Let it rest in peace and quiet, love

Walk softly on this heart of mine



Walk softly on this heart of mine
