Sofly, in the winter time,
Soft-ly, when we’re about to dine,
Soft-ly, in my heart of mine,
I talk to you,
Has anybody of you two,
Got half a mind to go to the zoo?
Tonight won’t you think we’d had fun?
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son, one by one
Softly, in the winter time,
Soft-ly, when it goes towards nine,
Soft-ly, in my heart of mine,
I talk to you.
Go feed the dog and cat and then go,
To bed and have your right own dream,
Now be well off and start with the sun.
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son, one by one
Softly, in the winter time,
Soft-ly, when day’s gonna shine,
Soft-ly, in my heart of mine,
I talk to you,
About my actual favorite matter.
That’s how to live and laugh and feel better.
I cut the bred for them and they run
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
Off and way, they set out for living
Love them if ever they come, wherever they’ve gone
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son,
My daughter, my son, one by one
Sofly.
