Break It To Me Gently

Look at me, I'm in my glory

Like a child, who loves a story

Pinching myself just to see

If you're really here with me

Nothing good can last for long

So when you feel like moving on

Break it to me gently

How I wish that we could make

Love for as long as it can take

Wear each other out, and then

Stop and start it all again

All my life I dreamed of this

And if a dream is all this is

Break it to me gently

And, I don't want to sound a bore

What will be will be I know

But there's no harm in asking

For when you have a beauty rare

Why can it not be everlasting

Is it true what I hear whispered

You get tired of men so quick

That it's now become a standing joke

How long will the next one cope

If there isn't the doubt

And I'm the next to be kicked out

Break it to me gently

And, I don't want to sound a bore

What will be will be I know

But there's no harm in asking

You've been through all this before

Could this one not be ever-lasting

Optimistic though I am

Things will remain the way they stand

Nevertheless there is this fear

You might one day disappear

I just hope that if it's true

You will have the decency to

Break it to me gently

If and when the time arrives

Don't just leave me high and dry

Break it to me gently
