Break It to Me Gently

Music by Joe Seneca with lyrics by Diana Lampert; changes by Debra Milligan


ree

Break it to me gently

Let me down the easy way.

 

Make me feel that you still

love me,

 

If it’s just, if it’s 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.

 

ree

Let me love you

till the last.

 

The love we shared

for oh so long

 

Is such a big part of me.

 

If you must take

your love away,

 

Take it gradually

 

Break it

Break it to me gently.

 

Give me time,

 

Oh give me a little time

 

To ease the pain.

 

Love me

Just a little longer


ree

Cause I may never love again.

 

The love we shared

for oh so long

 

It’s such a big part of me.

 

If you must take

your love away,

 

Take it

 

Take it gradually


And break it

 

Break it to me gently.

ree

 

Give me time,

 

Give me time

 

To ease the pain.

 

Love me just

A little longer

 

Till I can love

 

and love

 

again.
