Your Gentle Way Of Loving Me

The Byrds · Complete Album Collection [2011]

It's the humming of the engines

On the Greyhound bus and trains

That keeps your memory on my mind

And here with me

Many miles have come between us

Cold nights on some roadside

Bringing back

Your gentle ways of loving me



It's the thought of how you love me

How you treat me, how you thrill me

That clears my fogged-up mind

To where I see

Some little girl, as I walk by

Just looking at me sadly

Bringing back

Your gentle ways of loving me



It's just your gentle ways of loving me

It's just your gentle ways of loving me



It's the happiness I've never found

With other loves that bothers

And a mother saying

How her child loves me

And times you never talked about

Those late evening hours

Bringing back

Your gentle ways of loving me



It's just your gentle ways of loving me

It's just your gentle ways of loving me

It's just your gentle ways of loving me

It's just your gentle ways of loving me
