The Gentle way

I read the words you wrote today

Before you left to go away.

I thought I'd write this note to you

To say some things I wanted to.

Your tender note was sweet and kind,

But broke my heart, and bent my mind-

A gentle way to break my heart,

To let love end… and teardrops start.

"Hello Darling'" still carries me

To that old place, where you loved me.

 I wish I had the words to say

To change your mind so you would stay.

My words won't change what's in your mind,

But if I try, perhaps I'll find

A gentle way to break my heart,

To let love end… and teardrops start.

I'll play a sad old country song

And make believe there's nothing wrong.

Now ,we both know that it's not right

To let love fade, as day to night.

Each day, my love, I'll think of you

When love was fresh as morning dew-

…A gentle way to break my heart,

To let love end… and teardrops start.
