Joanna Daniel Poet Lyric

Gently Now, Gently

1.
The baby's sleeping 
Sleep, baby, sleep 
Love is for keeping 
Keep, baby, keep 
No time for weeping 
Weep, baby, weep

        Chorus:
        Gently now, gently 
        Let us not rush 
        Love me intently 
        Let us now hush

2.
Music is humming 
Hum, baby, hum
Guitar strings strumming 
Strum, baby, strum
Love has come drumming 
Drum, baby, drum

        Chorus:
        Gently now, gently 
        Let us not rush 
        Love me intently 
        Let us now hush

Bridge:
Gently now, gently 
Take me in your arms 
Love me intently 
Ease all my alarms 
Gently now, gently 
Hear my heart beating
Love me intently 
My fear is fleeting

Gently now, gently 
Let us not rush
Let us now hush...
Now hush...

Vijay Pandit September 5, 2020 at 9:56 AM Enjoyed the bouncy tone of your lyrics, Jo..lovely write. The prompt is quite appealing for a love poem--I have written on the same theme (not posted yet). All the best.
