Softly, softly sing to me
On a summer's eve
Cold air breeze down through the trees
Hold me tenderly
Gently, gently guide me there
Cross the little streams
To a place I long to be
Guide me to my dreams
Sing to me of days to come
Visions yet to see
Tell me who that little child
What she then to be
Fireflies will dance in the dark
'Neath the willows old
Lead me through the trail of light
To stories yet untold
Softly, softly sing to me
On a summer's eve
Take my hand and guide me to
Where I long to be
Little child, you'll find your way
Through the hills, the valleys unseen
Little child, there'll come a time someday
When you'll softly sing to me
