Let me down slow an' 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 an' 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 lettin' 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 lettin' go, yea
I don't want you to know
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

I more than long for your affection
You tell me now that ain't so
Not even gentle persuasion
Is ever gonna let me go

You lyin' next to me, yea
Fulfilled some destiny
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of lettin' go, yea
I don't want you to know
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh
Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh
Won't you let me breathe?
