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
