Tell me softly, my sweet love,
Of how I won your heart.
Whisper now the gentle tale
Of how our love did start.
Tell me how we met by chance
One rainy day in June.
Tease me now of our first kiss
Beneath a summer moon.
Tell me where we said 'hello'
And watched the dying storm.
Remind me how we huddled close
To keep each other warm.
Tell me, love, before I sleep,
Of how I won your heart,
Let me hear your voice once more
Before, at last, we part.
