Speak softly, slowly, so gently to my fragile heart,
Come hold me tenderly; I feel like my world has come apart.
Never thought that I would say this, but I just can't be the strong man anymore,
So hard to remember a colder December,
Now I'm knocking at your door.
Speak softly, slowly, so gently to my fragile heart,
Come hold me tenderly; I feel like my world has come apart.
The icy rain keeps beating down upon me - sometimes I want to hide or run away,
Instead, I've come to you, 'cause I knew you'd want me to,
Still, it's has for me to say...
Speak softly, slowly, so gently to my fragile heart,
Come hold me tenderly; I feel like my world has come apart,
Oh, won't you speak?
Feel like I'm breaking apart.
Speak softly, slowly, so gently to my fragile heart,
Oh, won't you call me tenderly? - I feel like my world has come apart.
Speak so softly,
Oh, won't you speak gently now?
Can you understand I'm a broken man?
Can you understand I got to find a way to begin again?
Baby, won't you call to me?
Baby, won't you call to me?
Baby, won't you say to me that you love me now?
Just say it softly,
I got fragile eyes,
Oh, I got a broken heart,
And I don't even know how to go on now,
I don't even know how to dream a dream now.
