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
  
  You say you're sorry once again, dear
  You want me to take you back once more
  You say you need a helping hand, dear
  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 you soon will find a new love
  I feel your heart is turned to stone
  Please let me down real easy
  Loneliness 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
