Lyrics
Gently (Iowa Version)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gently, my mind escapes
Into the relaxing mode of pleasure
A pleasure that'll take my mind
Off the reality of my life
My past life
Life as I know it now!
And whatever may come, it slowly disappears
To somewhere in the back of my mind
And it will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it!
Yes, I will stay here for awhile
For I need the break
A break from the pressures of life
And everything that lays in the palm of life's hands!
This mode is incredible
It's out of this world
Too bad I must always leave it
That's life!
That's life!
That's life!
That's life!
Yes!
