At a time, you need to find a friend in me,
Someone to lean on to.
And when you feel inclined to speak your mind
To one so near, someone to hear you through,

That's when I'll be there, to give you tender care,
A gentle word, a song to sing with you, a feeling shared.
Gentle is the dew, and precious are the few sweet moments
We've been alone together afternoons.
I've got gentle eyes for you, you, you.

As a friend, I long to spend more time with you,
When I'm with you we grow.
Closer together, blessed as pure,
Now rest secure in what He's done,
What He's begun to do.

That's why I am here, in love I now endear
You to myself, there's nothing else
Around that you should fear.
Gentle is the dew, and precious are the few sweet moments
We've been alone together afternoons.
I've got gentle eyes for you, you, you.
