Silver Penny Lyrics

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
