Lyrics

Let Me Down Gently

(Kember)

Darlin'
If you find your love
Ever startin' to fade
Let me down gently, honey
Ever so gently
And maybe, just maybe, and it's only a maybe
Well, maybe I won't feel a thing

Darlin', oh darlin'
I feel so fine with you
Though it's not been easy, it's true
And you know, I've nothin' to gain
But honey, if I had the chance, you know
I'd do it all again
