[Verse 1]
Gently your eyes met mine
Tender, trusting, true
Gently your hand took mine
Thrilled me through and through

[Chorus]
Gently, oh so gently
Gentle as the dawn
Gently, oh so gently
Our true love was born

[Verse 2]
Gently your lips kissed mine
As we strolled along
Gently your heart touched mine
Young and warm and strong

[Chorus]
Gently, oh so gently
Gentle as the dawn
Gently, oh so gently
Our true love was born

[Verse 3]
Gently the hour is near
When true loves have to part
Gently we'll meet again
One more kiss, sweetheart
[Chorus]
Gently, oh so gently
Gentle as the dawn
Gently, oh so gently
Our true love was born
Our true love was born
