Come and lie beside me now, my love   Come, I've always been too shy in love   My voice is narrow   And a boy ain't supposed to cry   Until tomorrow:      Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly      Knowing you will always be a trial   Knowing that you only stay a while   My deepest horror   And I know I ain't supposed to cry   I'm safe from sorrow      Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly      Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   Let me down gently (let me down, let me down)   I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly      Oooooo...
