Be Gentle

What I really wanna say
Seems to come out best
When it's in a verse
It'll put my mind at rest

Words that come to mind
When I think of you
Waiting and Time, cause
Patience is a virtue

Just please be gentle with me
I wouldn't have said a word
Unless I really knew
Who I really wanted
That person is you

Maybe that seems forward
But all the same to me
I'm not impatient
I can wait and see

Any pain there could be
Is worth it to me

I promise, I'll be gentle with you
I wouldn't have said a thing
Unless I really knew
Who I really wanted
That is you

You say that you are shy
There's something I want you to know
How beautiful you really are
Beyond your face that seems to glow

If there's any pain to be
It's better than if I'd never see

I said, I'll be gentle with you
I would not say a word
Unless I really knew
Who I wanted
It's you

Now all this to say
That I'll wait as long as it will take
My Lord gives me infinite peace
Cause anything worth waiting for
Might bend me till I break

Please be gentle
I can't make you feel the same
I would never play a game
With a heart so tender
So I'd be your friend all the same

Cause patients are for doctors
But patience is for me
So please be gentle
And we'll be sure
To be around to see
What may come...
