Silver Penny Songtext

von Jack Hardy

Softly ever so softly
As you came into the room
Came upon me a deeper feeling
That I could not place in tune
And all the walls they started reeling
That I tried to hold on to
Softly melting my defenses
Do not give your heart too soon

Found a penny silver penny
At the crossing of the street
Where a child had stopped his playing
Leaving life as incomplete
And so I tossed it in the air
To see if love was dark or fair
Said the penny silver penny
When you ask you never dare

Softly ever so softly
Came the closing of the door
And the sound of cloth in falling
As it softly touched the floor
Of all the answers and the questions
Hung upon that silver moon
Came the answer in reflection
You cannot give your heart too soon
