Take Two [With Kim Weston]

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


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


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


So tenderly, that's how love fell on me


Listen, Kim: it didn't hit me like a ton of bricks
But I felt it just the same
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


So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me


I couldn't help myself at all
You know, you came along & I had to fall


So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
