To Know Someone Deeply Is To Know Someone Softly Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

(Spoken Intro) 

Under a temperamental sun 

On the dark hillside of your sorrow 

If there's pain in your heart 

Let it go 

Just reach inside and let it go 

Now dig 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

Listen to me know 

In my love garden 

I wrestled with an angel 

Not in a dream 

Her eyes did seem 

Like the grapes of the vine 

Her lips were made like the gates of Heaven 

Not to be missed 

Made to be kissed 

But not to kiss goodbye 

The larger picture 

Will come with time 

But for tonight, dear 

Let's lullabye 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

Listen to me know 

Once a flower opens 

It never closes 

Until it dies 

And the it lies 

Amongst the roses 

I wanted to play her like 

A black grand piano 

A clarinet 

A minuet 

Or lyric soprano 

In my arms there's 

A safety zone 

Where nothing can harm you 

Your heart or home 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

Sing 

Dum Dum Dum Dum / Sha La La 

Da Da Dum / Sha La La La La 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly 

To know someone deeply 

Is to know someone softly
