Rick Springfield Treat Me Gently In The Morning
She remembers the night they first were alone When he took her home and he said, "I need you, won't you stay" And all through that night his eyes had a light That burned very bright and she hoped his words weren't well read lines A little ill at ease she whispered, baby please Treat me gently in the morning, take my heart but stay with me Treat me gently in the morning, please Her mama said, "Silly girl, you should marry him or leave He'll only make you grieve when he decides it's over, wake up child" But the years fell away, they grew closer they found Though they had their ups and downs just like lovers do, still she'd say It's okay to fight, when we're alone late at night, I'll always say Treat me gently in the morning, take my heart but stay with me Treat me gently in the morning It all went so fast, one day he went away, he said St. Tropez But he died that winter in a plane The last thing he sent was a postcard from Rome It read "I'm coming home, lady I love you" And under his name was a P.S. that read, very simply it said Treat me gently in the morning, I can't live another night Treat me gently in the morning, I'll be on that plane tonight (repeats out) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
