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
