Break it to me gently   Let me down the 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 'til the last      The love we've shared, oh so long   It's a teary 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      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   Love me just a little longer   'Cause I'll never, never love again   'Cause I'll never, no, never love again, ooh
