I:

Gently your eyes met mine

Tender, trusting, true

Gently your hand took mine

Thrilled me through and through

CHORUS:

Gently, oh so gently

Gentle as the dawn

Gently, oh so gently

Our true love was bor[-]n

II:

Gently your lips kissed mine

As we strolled along

Gently your heart touched mine

Young and warm and strong

CHORUS:

Gently, oh so gently

Gentle as the dawn

Gently, oh so gently

Our true love was bo[-]rn

III:

Gently the hour is near

When true loves have to part

Gently we’ll meet again

One more kiss, sweetheart

CHORUS:

Gently, oh so gently

Gentle as the dawn

Gently, oh so gently

Our true love was born

Our true love was born
