Gentle is the rain that falls on me And gentle too the raging sea But gentle is the girl who breaks my heart. Gentle are the tears she cries for me And gentle too her reverie For gentle is the girl who breaks my heart. Gentle love she hurts me so I wish that I could let her go She loves to take and break my heart in two. INSTRUMENTAL Gentle is the light that helps me see And the night that takes her from me Gentle is the girl who breaks my heart Who loves to hurt Who hurts to love Who lives to laugh Who cries to live Who gives me somethin' I don't know Who takes me gently When she will, and goes.
