[Verse 1]
Softly she plays
Gentle as her gaze
Wakes up to the sun
Her day has begun

[Verse 2]
Voices outside
Questions in her eyes
Everything seems new
When you're beautiful and true

And gently, gently
Gently, gently
Beats her heart

[Verse 3]
Stands at the gate
Hasn't learned to hate
Happy and unknown
In a garden made of stone

[Verse 4]
Go sleep in hills
Oh golden daffodils
Just a memory
Of some forgotten dream

And gently, gently
Gently, gently
Beats her heart

[Verse 5]
Softly she plays
Gentle as her gaze
Her father takes her hand
And leads her down the path
[Verse 6]
Feet tread the ground
Hardly make a sound
And with the autumn sun
October's almost gone

[Outro]
And gently, gently
Beats her heart
