You Gentle Me — Carole King
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
