Softly, in the wintertime

Softly, when we're about to dine

Softly, in my heart of mine, I talk to you

Has anybody of you two

Got half a mind to go to the zoo?

Tonight, won't you think we had fun?

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son, one by one

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son, one by one

Softly, in the wintertime

Softly, when it goes towards nine

Softly, in my heart of mine, I talk to you

Go feed the dog and cat, and then go

To bed and have your right own dream

Now be well off and start with the sun

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son, one by one

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son, one by one

Softly, in the wintertime

Softly, when day's gonna shine

Softly, in my heart of mine, I talk to you

About my actual favourite matter

That's how to live and laugh and feel better

I cut the bread for them and they run

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

Off and away, they set out for living

Love them if ever they come, wherever they're gone

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son, one by one

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son

My daughter, my son, one by one

Softly
