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, let me love you 'til 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, oh

And 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 'cause I'll never love again
No, I'll never, I'll never love again
