Please Go Gently Songtext
von Amelia Coburn

By the time you′re reading this I hope you feel no pain
Relief is found in silver-lined clouds to wash over you like rain
Go to sleep, count the stars
Cradled in my arms

But by the time you're reading this you′re probably far from home
You killed two birds and fought their flight
With nothing but a stone
I'll carry the reminder and I'll carry you home
If you let go all the burdens you have ever known
They′ve found peace now as have you
Please go gently into that night


At the time of writing this you′ve fallen at your feet
But in our pride this lion's heart shall not admit defeat
At first blush of March′s moon
Spring was in your step

But at the time of writing this Father Time has failed you
Though fire burns on we all know
Glowing embers die and fade, too
There are too many words wrapped round my tongue
But you'll hear the music to your ears my heart has sung
All for you my love, now it′s goodbye
Please go gently into that night

Please go gently into that night
