walk softly

franklin, aretha

walk softly when you walk by me

'cause my heart is still

don't shake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

if i seem distant or reserved when we meet

don't take the time to ask me why

'cause it's bad enough that i've lost you

baby

don't make it rough

just say hello and then tell me goodbye

walk softly when you walk by me

'cause my heart is still

don't shake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

i fall apart each time that we meet

remembering things that i should forget

my love's a spark but it could burst into flames

'cause i'm not over you again

no

and walk softly when you move by me baby

'cause my heart is still

don't you shake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

oh

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

ooh

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

baby

don't wake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

let it late

baby

don't wake it up

be charm baby

now that i've cried my love to sleep

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

eh

don't wake it up

please

baby

now that i've cried my love to sleep

let it late

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

don't wake it up

now that i've cried my love to sleep
