The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walk softly when you walk by me
'Cause my heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
If I seem distant and reserved when you need
Don't take the time to ask me why
'Cause it's bad enough that I've lost you
Oh, don't make it rough
Just say hello and goodbye...
Walk softly when you walk by me
'Cause my heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
I fall apart each time I look in your eyes
Remembering things I should forget
My love's a spark
But it could burst into flames
'Cause I'm not over you yet
Walk softly when you walk by me
'Cause my heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep
Don't wake it up, don't wake it up
