(words & music by Wizell - Lisbona)
Gently your eyes met mine
Tender, trusting, true
Gently your hand took mine
Thrilled me through and through
Gently, oh so gently
Gentle as the dawn
Gently, oh so gently
Our true love was born
Gently your lips kissed mine
As we strolled along
Gently your heart touched mine
Young and warm and strong
Gently the hour is near
When true loves have to part
Gently we'll meet again
One more kiss, sweetheart

I think of old Skeeter when I hear this song. Many people don't know that Skeeter Davis passed away on 9-20-04
I rememeber meeting her in 1973.
I live in Missouri which borders Kentucky.
This song was part of Elvis soul music that was released in 69/70.
Suspicious Minds was a big one for him.
The only song he did that I did not like was the hunk of burnin love. The song sounded like he was in hell.
I think Elvis made it to Heaven but we will not know until we are on the other side.
