I: 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 II: Gently your lips kissed mine As we strolled along Gently your heart touched mine Young and warm and strong Gently, oh so gently Gentle as the dawn Gently, oh so gently Our true love was born III: Gently the hour is near When true loves have to part Gently we'll meet again One more kiss, sweetheart Gently, oh so gently Gentle as the dawn Gently, oh so gently Our true love was born Our true love was born
