Let me down slow and easy

Cause there ain't nothin' I can do

I hope and pray my faith won't leave me

When it comes down to me and you

Try a little tenderness

I die a little

For a long lost sweet caress

You lyin' next to me

Fulfilled some destiny

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go

I don't want you to know

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

Overflow of emotion

And a hurt that'll never heal

If you close the door forever

The fate of pain is sealed

Try a little tenderness

I die a little

For a long lost sweet caress

You lyin' next to me

Fulfilled some destiny

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go

I don't want you to know

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

I more than long for your affection

I tell you know that ain't so

Not even gentle persuasion

Is ever gonna let me go

You lyin' next to me

Fulfilled some destiny

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go

I don't want you to know

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

Won't you let me breathe
