You Gentle Me Lyrics

You Gentle Me lyrics

YOU GENTLE ME

by Carole King & David Palmer



When tempers flare to flame

When no one cares to listen

  while I'm tryin' to explain

You see the anger rise in me

Adn you calm me down again



CHORUS:

Like the first spring lilac rain, you gentle me

Like innocence regained, you gentle me

And the feeling that remains grows

  stronger by degree

When you gentle to me





When rumor comes to call

Suspicion's taking over

   and I'm back against the wall

You just smile assuringly

And my defenses fall



CHORUS



When life seems so relentless, you gentle me

When my strving seems so senseless, you gentle me

You lift my spirits, I get higher by degree

When you're gentle to me



When tension's taking shape

When I feel the pressure building and

  it's just too much to take

You touch the anxious need in me

With love for lovin''s sake



CHORUS
