[Verse 1] Won't you tread lightly 'cause the house is sleeping Won't you tread lightly down the stairs Will you leave my lonely when the sun is creeping Up from the horizon over there
[Verse 2] Won't you tread lightly the floorboards are creaking Won't you tread lightly when you're gone Will you leave me lonely when the day is breaking Will you leave me lonely in the dawn
[Chorus 1] Keep me in your prayers when you are wandering Keep me forever on your lips Keep me in your thoughts when winter's knocking Hold me when the snow begins to drift Hold me when the snow begins to drift
[Verse 3] Won't you stay a while and we could sleep in Won't you stay a while and warm my skin But I know you're headed for another lifetime Be another 'til you're back again
[Chorus 1] Keep me in your prayers when you are wandering Keep me forever on your lips Keep me in your thoughts when winter's knocking Hold me when the snow begins to drift Hold me when the snow begins to drift
[Chorus 2] Keep me in your prayers when you are wandering Keep me forever on your lips Keep me in your thoughts when winter's knocking Hold me when the snow begins to drift
[Chorus 3] Keep me in your prayers when you are wandering Keep me forever on your lips Keep me in your thoughts when winter's knocking Hold me when the snow begins to drift Hold me when the snow begins to drift Hold me when the snow begins to drift
