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
