O'Sullivan, Gilbert - Break It To Me Gently Lyrics






Look at me, I'm in my glory
Like a child, who loves a story pinching myself just to see
If you're really here with me
Nothing good can last for long
So when you feel like moving on
Break it to me gently.
How I wish that we could make
Love for as long as it can take
Wear each other out, and then
Stop and start it all again
All my life I dreamt of this
And if a dream is all this is
Break it to me gently.
And, I don't want to sound a bore
What will be will be I know
But there's no harm in asking
For when you have a beauty rare
Why can it not be everlasting.
Is it true what I hear whispered
You get tired of men so quick
That it's now become a standing joke
How long will the next one cope
If there isn't the doubt
And I'm the next to be kicked out
Break it to me gently.
And, I don't want to sound a bore
What will be will be I know
But there's no harm in asking
You've been through all this before
Could this one not be ever-lasting.
Optimistic though I am
Things will remain the way they stand
Nevertheless there is this fear
You might one day disappear
I just hope that if it's true
You will have the decency to
Break it to me gently
If and when the time arrives
Don't just leave me high and dry
Break it to me gently.

    When you listen to GS's music,, it makes you wonder,, why there isn't more music being made like this?!!? Soothing, real, gentle, kind, and it's good heart mending and spirit lifting,,, truly,, it is!

    he is so awesome!

    I heard this for the first time two days after I had lost the love of my life in August 1982. I think it is his best ever and hearing it can always bring me to my knees, thirty years on and I
    still love her and no-one else. Sad old fool!

    LOVE HIM cant wait till see him tomorrow night

  5. 1.... ....

    nice video....crazy about the song "Taking a chance on love" as you know. If that's the quality of records that aren't hits for Ray, it just shows the strength of his songwriting and Gilbertville has been given good reviews, many saying that it compares with anything he has ever done, and i agree as i am sure you do.
