Break it to me gently, let me down that easy way

Make me feel you still love me if it's just, just for one more day

Break it to me gently so my tears, my tears won't fall too fast

If you must go, then go slowly, let me love you 'till then



BRIDGE:

The love we've shared oh so long, it's a tender part of me

If you must take your love away, take it gradually



And break it to me gently, give me time, oh give me a little time to ease the pain

If you must go, then go slowly, 'cause I'll never love again



BRIDGE (LEAD ONLY FOR FIRST TWO LINES)



If you must take your love away, take it gradually



KEY CHANGE



And break it to me gently

Give me time, oh give me a little time to ease the pain

Love me just a little longer, 'cause I'll never, never love again

'Cause I'll never, no never love again...ooh
