"Drop Me Gently" lyrics

Drop Me Gently

Don't say we're through
All at once
Do it gradually
A sudden drop
Would be more
Than I could take
Linger on
For a while
And then finally
Drop me gently
So my heart won't break

I'm not strong enough
To face the fact
It's over
This time you won't be coming back

Don't say goodbye
Just so long
For old times sake
Then drop me gently
So my heart won't break

Lower my heart down
For a little drop
It's not the fall that hurts
It's that sudden stop

I'll watch you fade from my life
With each step you take
But drop me gently
So my heart won't break

Just drop mе gently
So my heart won't break
