Gentle with My Heart

The Bozeman leaves are changing now
 The air betrays a winter chill
 I'm wrapped in layers as I walk the land
 And wonder if you ever will
 So strange to find you in my heart again
 And to learn I've been in yours
 So many years still it appears
 We haven't quite closed all those doors
 And the longing is so strong
 The waiting is so hard
 All I ask is when you hear this song
 Please be gentle with my heart
 My grandma showed me lots of things
 'bout how to ride in life's rodeo
 Be careful who you fall for dear
 'Cause you might never let 'em go
 And the longing is so strong
 The waiting is so hard
 I really hope you won't be too long
 Please be gentle with my heart
 Be gentle, whatever you decide to do
 Be gentle, though you know which way I want you to choose
 Be gentle, 'cause I never stopped thinking
 Of you thinking of you
 And I could be happy on my own
 My life's so full I couldn't ask for more
 But there's something missing from this home
 And you're the one I'm aching for
 And the longing is so strong
 The waiting is so hard
 Even if this all goes wrong
 Please be gentle with my heart
 Please be gentle with my heart
