Whoa, sing softly
Above the trees where Billy breathes we float upon the air

Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

Whoa, sing softly
Time it seems in broken dreams to sleep beside the stair
Whoa, whoa (whoa)
F Dm7 C Bb F Dmi7 Eb Bb
Softly sing sweet songs, softly sing sweet songs
Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh
