Under a temperamental sun
On the dark hillside of your sorrow
If there's pain in your heart, let it go
Just reach inside and let it go, now dig
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
Listen to me now
In my love garden, I wrestled with an angel
Not in a dream, her eyes did seem like grapes of the vine
Her lips were made like the gates of Heaven
Not to be missed, made to be kissed, but not to kiss goodbye
The larger picture will come with time
For tonight, dear, let's lullaby
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
Listen to me now
Once a flower opens, it never closes until it dies
And then, it lies amongst the roses
I wanted to play her like a black, grand piano
A clarinet, a minuet or lyric soprano
In my arms, there's a safety zone
Where nothing can harm you, your heart or home
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly, sing
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply is to know someone softly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
