Walk Softly on This Heart of Mine
Gentle Echoes of Heartache: Walk Softly on This Journey of Love
Lyrics
You say, you're sorry once again, dear
You express regret once again, my dear.
You want me to take you back once more
You desire me to reconcile with you once more.
You say, you need a helpin' hand, dear
You state that you need a helping hand, my dear.
Well, that's what you told me once before
This is a repetition of a similar statement you made before.
Walk softly on this heart of mine, love
A plea to handle my heart with care and gentleness.
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
Advising against treating the heart with cruelty and unkindness.
Let it rest in peace and quiet, love
Suggesting to let the heart find peace and tranquility.
Walk softly on this heart of mine, walk on
A repeated plea to handle the heart gently and to move on.
I know someday, you'll find a new love
A realization that someday you'll find a new love.
I'll feel your heart has turned to stone
Anticipating that your heart may become cold and unfeeling.
But please, let me down real easy
A request to let me down gently when you move on.
'Cause loneliness moves in as you move on
Loneliness is mentioned as a consequence of your departure.
Walk softly on this heart of mine, love
A repeated plea to handle my heart delicately and not be unkind.
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
An emphasis on treating the heart with kindness and avoiding cruelty.
Let it rest in peace and quiet, love
Suggesting to let the heart find peace and quietness after the breakup.
Walk softly on this heart of mine
A reiterated plea to handle the heart gently.
Walk softly on this heart of mine
A final plea to walk softly on the heart.
Walk softly on this heart of mine, oh
A repeated plea to handle the heart softly and delicately.
