Break It To Me Gently - Ruth Brown

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

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
