As quietly as I can

Will you let me love you
as quietly as I can
tell you when my heart smiles
and lay kisses on your hand

I have no expectations
of anything but now
for I know you may leave me
and I may show you how

 
I am so afraid I may hurt you
my history shows I can
the crashing waves of past remains
are never far away

So I just want to love you quietly
as quietly as I can
and tell you when my heart sings
and know you love me now

Lets not make lovers' promises
lets live just for today
For right now our souls are dancing

and as we gently sway
I can hear our hearts laugh
as it carries on the breeze

So I am just loving you
as quietly as I can

I am prepared for you to leave me
or if its me that needs to go
I will just continue to love you
as quietly as I can

The gentle taste of love's hope
the hungry embrace of your lips
the imprint of your delicate hand
are all attached to my soul

Because you can never truly leave this place
where I just try to love you
as gently as I can
as quietly as I can
