Lyrics
GENTLY FALLS
©2009 Words & Music
BY DAVE & DEBBIE COLVIN
VERSE 1 GENTLY FALLS THE AUTUMN LEAF
REMINDING ME WHAT I CAN'T BELIEVE
GENTLY FALLS THIS LONELY TEAR
THE HOLIDAYS WITHOUT YOU HERE
CHORUS OH, HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
OH, HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
I KNOW THE REASON YOU MUST BE AWAY
BUT OH HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
VERSE 2 GENTLY FALLS THE BLOWING SNOW
REMINDING ME I ALREADY KNOW
GENTLY FALLS THIS LONLELY TEAR
THIS BED'S SO COLD WITHOUT YOU HERE
CHORUS OH, HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS.....
BRIDGE YOU SIGNED UP - SERVING YOUR COUNTRY-
HELPING TO COMPLETE THE MISSION
FEELS LIKE I SIGNED UP TO - BUT WHAT I'M DOING
IS COMPLETELY MISSING YOU
VERSE 3 GENTLY FALLS THE RAIN OF SPRING
MY HEART POUNDS WHEN I HEAR THE PHONE RING
GENTLY FALLS THIS BITTER TEAR
THE SANDS OF WAR ARE KEEPING YOU FROM ME
FOR ANOTHER YEAR
CHORUS OH, HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
OH, HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
I KNOW THE REASON YOU MUST BE AWAY
BUT OH HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
I KNOW THE REASON YOU MUST BE AWAY
BUT OH HOW MY TEAR GENTLY FALLS
TAG GENTLY FALLS THE AUTUMN LEAF
