Lyrics

Time is all important to everything It seems to be an ongoing thing When you're dealing with pain Love and the fact that you've lost it When I met you, I was introduced to love and After a period of time I came to be friends with pain I've dealt with these emotions and I hope that I've come through So if you don't mind Walk softly when you walk by me 'Cause my heart is still, don't shake it up Now that I've cried my love to sleep (Cried my love to sleep) Don't wake it up, don't wake it up (Don't wake it up) Now that I've cried my love to sleep (Cried my love to sleep) Don't wake it up, don't wake it up (Don't wake it up, ooh) If I seem distant and reserved when we meet Don't take the time to ask me, why 'Cause it's bad enough that I've lost you Ohh, don't make it rough, ohh, just say hello and goodbye Tip toe when you pass by me 'Cause my heart is still, don't shake it up Now that I've cried my love to sleep (Cried my love to sleep) Don't wake it up, ooh, don't wake it up (Don't wake it up) Yeah, I just cried my love to sleep (Cried my love to sleep) Ooh, don't wake it up, don't wake it up (Don't wake it up, ooh) I fall apart each time I look in your eyes Remembering things I should forget Ooh, my love's a spark but it could burst into flames 'Cause I'm not over you yet Walk softly when you walk by me Ooh, my heart is still, don't shake it up Now that I've cried my love to sleep (Cried my love to sleep) Ooh, don't shake it up, don't wake it up (Don't wake it up) Ooh, baby, now that I've cried my love to sleep (Cried my love to sleep) Don't wake it up, don't wake it up, yeah (Don't wake it up) (Now that I've cried my love to sleep) I've cried my love to sleep Don't wake it up, ooh, don't wake it up (Now that I've cried my love to sleep) Yeah, I just cried my love to sleep Don't wake it up, please, don't wake it up
