Break it to me gently, 
Let me down the easy way 
Make me feel 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 '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 

Oh, oh, 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 never love again 

'Cause I'll never love again
