Softly

Right now, I thought we'd be

Driving round, living wild, loving happily

Somehow, you're not next to me

I tried and I lied

And now you've gone away

Do you tell him all the things you used to

Say to my face?

If you do, here's what you told me

If you love me, hold me softly

You're the only one I want, I want

I would die for you

I would lie for you

I'd give my life to you

If you love me, hold me softly

Those are the words you used to tell me

And I hope you tell him that

Oh, I hope you tell him that

Driving past your house again

See your mother and your father and your silhouette

Is it you, in that flowered dress?

Do you remember all the times when I told you

I was scared you'd go away?

All the nights we talked

And memories are fading to grey

When you left, here's what you told me

If you love me, hold me softly

You're the only one I want, I want

I would die for you

I would lie for you

I'd give my life to you

If you love me, hold me softly

Those are the words you used to tell me

And I hope you tell him that

Oh, I hope you tell him that

And whoa, why don't you see

My love, you're all I need

And whoa, you're the part of me

I've tried so hard to see

Maybe I've lost my composure

You were the one that was holding me together

And maybe this wasn't forever

I can't ignore the proof

It hurts me 'cause it's true

I'm still in love with you

I would die for you

I would lie for you

I'd give my life to you

If you love me, hold me softly

I tell you this, would you believe me?

I'm still in love with you

Yeah, I'm still in love with you
