Tread Softly

Tread softly on my heart, my Love,
It cannot take much more,
Until it breaks forever, Love,
You're the one that it beats for.

Lay easy in my thoughts, my Love,
For they will haunt me 'til I die,
But my last will be of you, Love,
'Fore in my grave, I lie.

Cut gently through my life, my Love,
Remember, it's been harsh,
And rife with pain and suff'ring, Love,
Tread softly on my heart.
