all your life love's hurt you
turned you out then burnt you
held you high off the ground
you touched the moon
then it dropped you down
I know your heart's been broken
trust don't come so easily
it takes time, that's all right
just let me heal your heart tonight

I will rock you gently
I will be there when the night comes down
I will rock you so gently
I'm gonna rock you gently
I will be there when the morning comes
I will rock you, rock you

late at night they haunt you
lovers' voices point you
back in time, wide awake
you curse the moon 'til the morning breaks
I know that lonely feeling
we are two hearts still healing
hurry here, hurry now
please come to me
let me show you how

I will rock you gently
I will be there when the night comes down
I will rock you so gently
I'm gonna rock you gently
I will be there when the morning comes
I will rock you, rock you

little by little, day by day
all through the night into the day
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
open up your heart and let me in
