Softly Lyrics

Sing me a song

Or a hymn, a lullaby

Words can tell the sweetest things

Or words can tell a lie

The song is on your lips

Take the words and let them fly

Words can make the children sing

Or words can make them cry

So if it's clear to see

And it's meant to be

Summon the words and say just what you mean

Softly as a song

From the trees and from the skies

Birds could sing for anyone

But they sing for you and I

Timeless as a tale

Once it's told, it never dies

Words can say a fleeting thing

Or they can last a whole lifetime

So if it's clear to see

And it's meant to be

Summon the words and say just what you mean

Sing me a song

Or a hymn, a lullaby

Words can tell the sweetest things

Or words can tell a lie

The song is on your lips

Take the words and let them fly

Words can make the children sing

Or words can make them cry
