So softly, so sweetly
She gave me a smile
Through crystal eyes she looked
Captivating for a while
So softly, so sweetly
She kissed me open-handed
With ruby lips of roses
A heart had been demanded
So softly, so sweetly
She held me indiscreetly
In arms so full of fervor
And loving me completely
So softly, so sweetly
She spoke to me that night
With sadness in her voice
I love you and goodbye
So I sit melancholy
Remembering distinctly
My cold heart of stone was made
So softly, so sweetly
