Walk Softly

Gladys Knight


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 and reserved when you need 
Don't take the time to ask me why
'Cause it's bad enough that I've lost you
Oh, don't make it rough 
Just say hello and 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 I look in your eyes 
Remembering things I should forget
My love's a spark 
But it could burst into flames 
'Cause I'm not over you yet

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
