You Gentle Me

When tempers flare to flame
 When no one cares to listen
 While I'm tryin' to explain
 You see the anger rise in me
 And you calm me down again
 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're 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
 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're gentle to me
 ♪
 When life seems so relentless, you gentle me
 When my striving 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 lovings sake
 Like the first spring lilac rain, you gentle me
 Like innocence regained, you gentle me
 You gentle me
 Oh, you gentle me
 You gentle me
 Oh, you gentle me
