There's something in your eyes
I should have seen
Something there that doesn't quite belong
And there's something in the way
You touched my hand
I feel the tenderness but somethings wrong

How could I have been so blind
I thought this love would never die
Now baby try....

To break it to me gently
Let me down easy
I don't think I can take
Much more then that tonight
So let me catch my breath before you start
Then break it to me gently
Even if it gently breaks my heart

You caught me by surprise
I'm unprepared
Tell what am I supposed to do
I can't find any words
I just know that I'm scared
I never thought of me with out you

And I don't want a reason why
But if you have to say good-bye
Then baby try.....

To break it to me gently
Let me down easy
I don't think I can take
Much more then that tonight
So let me catch my breath before you start
Then break it to me gently
Even if it gently breaks my heart

Tell me lies
Tell me there's still time for us
Oh can't we try to find a little more time for us
A little time before you....

To break it to me gently
Let me down easy
I don't think I can take
Much more then that tonight
So let me catch my breath before you start
Then break it to me gently
Even if it gently breaks my heart
