You say you're sorry once again dear
You want me to take you back once more
You say you need a helpin' hand dear
But that's what you told me once before

Walk softly on this heart of mine, love
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
Let it rest in peace and quiet, love
Walk softly on this heart of mine

I know someday you'll find a new love
Yeah get your heart and turn it into stone, baby
But please, oh let me down real easy
'Cause loneliness just moves in as you move on

Walk softly on this heart of mine, love
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
Let it rest in peace and quiet, love
Walk softly on this heart of mine
Walk softly on this heart of mine
Walk softly on this heart of mine
