[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
Drop me gently so my heart won't break

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Then drop me gently so my heart won't break

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
Drop me gently so my heart won't break
Just drop mе gently so my heart won't break
