Juice Newton: Break It To Me Gently, Album/Studio Version

It is a few minutes before the 5PM end of the working day and I am going to finish my Music Interludes for today with two songs, nearly back to back... The first is by featured artist Juice Newton and the title of this song is "Break It To Me Gently" and is the Album/Studio Version... I chose this over a live performance because the recording really captures all of Ms Newton's range and powerful voice!!! Others have sung this song, but in my view this is one of the best renditions... See if you agree...

LYRICS:

"Break It To Me Gently"

Break it to me gently
Let me down the 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 'til the last

The love we've shared, oh so long
It's a teary 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

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
Love me just a little longer
'Cause I'll never, never love again
'Cause I'll never, no, never love again, ooh
