While its instrumental version is simply known as "The Godfather theme", "Speak Softly Love" is the vocal version. The words are by Larry Kusik but the music itself is by Nino Rota. . Speak softly, love And hold me warm against your heart I feel your words The tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love So no one hears us but the sky The vows of love We make will live until we die My life is yours and all because You came into my world with love so softly love (Instrumental interlude) Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love So no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all because You came into my world with love so softly
