Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
[Him:] I used to go my way all by myself, me, my shadow & I
Happy-go-lucky, nobody else but me, my shadow & I
One day out of the clear blue skies
I dared to look in your eyes

[Chorus]
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me, yes indeed

[Verse 2]
[Her:] I used to laugh at all my friends
Getting ready for Valentines Day
Giving candy & kisses & friendship rings
\'Sweets for the sweet,\' they say
One day when the sun was warm
I couldn't help but take you in my arms

[Chorus]
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me

[Verse 3]
[Him:] Listen, Kim: it didn't hit me like a ton of bricks
But I felt it just the same
[Her:] Marvin, love came creeping right into my heart
When you whispered my name
So sweet & tender, I had to surrender
I knew I had really been hit

[Chorus]
[BOTH:] So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me

[Bridge]
[Him:] I couldn't help myself at all
[Her:] You know, you came along & I had to fall

[Outro]
[BOTH:] So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
