Lyrics: speak softly love

Love Theme From "The Godfather" (Speak Softly Love)

Andy Williams

Music by Nino Rota and Lyrics by Larry Kusik

from the movie "The Godfather" starring Marlon Brando

(peak Billboard position # 34 in 1972)

Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart

I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start

We're in a world, our very own

Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun

Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky

The vows of love we make will live until we die

My life is yours and all becau-au-se

You came into my world with love so softly love

(instrumental interlude>

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun

Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky

The vows of love we make will live until we die

My life is yours and all becau-au-se

You came into my world with love so softly love
