Let Me Down Slowly Lyrics

I can feel you fade away

from the kitchen to the bathroom

sink and your steps keep me awake

don't cut me down, throw me out,

leave me here to waste

I used to be a guy of dignity and elegance.

now I'm slipping through

the cracks of your cold embrace

so please, please

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?

A little sympathy I hope you can show me

If you wanna go then

I'll be so lonely

if your leaving baby

let me down slowly

let me down. let me down. down. let me down. down

let me down. let me down. down. let me down

if you wanna go then I`ll be so lonely

if you`re leaving baby

let me down slowly

cold skin. As I stroll down the corridor, I drag my feet on the tile.

and I know we haven`t talked in a while so I`m looking for an open door

don`t cut me down. throw me out. leave me here to waste

I once was a man. with dignity and grace

I'm sliding between the crevices of your chilly grip right now.

so please, please

could you find a way to

let me down slowly

I'm hoping you can show me some sympathy.

if you wanna go then I`ll be so lonely

if you`re leaving baby

let me down slowly

let me down. down

Let me down. Down. Let me down. Let me down. Down.

Let me down. Down. Let me down.

If you wanna go then

I'll be so lonely

If you're leaving baby

let me down slowly

And I can't stop myself

from falling- Down

could you find a way to

let me down slowly?

a little sympathy. i hope you can show me

if you wanna go then i`ll be so lonely

if you`re leaving baby

let me down slowly

let me down. down

Let me down. Down. Let me down. Let me down. Down. Let me down. Down. Let me down.

If you wanna go then

I'll be so lonely

If you're leaving baby

let me down slowly

if you wanna go then i`ll be so lonely

if you`re leaving baby

let me down slowly

 

 

Let Me Down Slowly Lyrics review

"Let Me Down Slowly" is a pleasant old-school sounding pop CD. The phrase 'good ol', sound pop record' does not mean boring or middle-of-the-road. It's a well-produced record, but it's not that elaborate. Nothing is wrong with it. Alec Benjamin delivers a strong vocal performance that is free of flashiness or gospel histrionics. He may not be the king of runs, but he steers clear of gimmicks, which are overdone in popular music in general.

Benjamin does his thing on "Let Me Down Slowly," and it pays off. He has a beautiful voice with a charming, young tone. On the chorus, he delivers the lyrics expressively, bringing emotions and the song itself "home." Simply put, his little heart cannot endure any further or unexpected suffering.
