We saw him sing this live on the Marty Stewart show. Was just as great as it sounded when he first recorded it back in the early 1980's. Think it was done in 1985..
Warmest wishes, & a belated "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" goes out to Mr. Glaser, who just turned 77 years old this past December 16th,!...Jim incidentally, is also the youngest of all the extremely talented Glaser Brothers...and this terrific lil' ditty was making it's debut on the Top 40 charts exactly 40 years ago this week, where it would eventually climb as high as #16 for Jim in February 1985...Thanks a super bunch for posting and sharing this all but forgotten about classic Mr. Gauntt, and I hope you're enjoying your weekend to the fullest! (I heard there's some football games on, so I'm pretty sure you are! Hehehe!)...Take Care! Lizzie :)
the College bowl games started today, have one eye eye on the computer one on the tv( i know it's physically impossible :)i think You mean 30 years Lizzie Bee, happy birthday to Jim, and You're more than welcome and thank You for sending it to me
Yup!...you're right Jacky boy! I accidentally hit the wrong button and made the song 10 years older than what it really is!..."Let me down easy" made it's Top 40 debut exactly 30 years ago this week!...Sorry 'bout that, and thanks for correcting it for me Jack! ;)
Hello Muzikgirl67, Do you have lyrics to Let Me Down Easy? I know I posted the question to Mr. Gauntt, but I thought I'd try a direct "Reply" to one of your comments... not sure if RUclips sends notifications of replies, but in case I'm trying. Thank you.... :-)
Let Me Down Easy We met as friends It was such an easy thing Love was farther Than a pauper from his king But more and more we came to know Reaching, touch-ing, holding on If its time for letting go Chorus: Let me down Let me down Let me down easy Because you know how I'm gonna break down When you let me down- oh Repeat Intro Verse 2: It might be you are afraid Of letting on Of just what you really feel But more and more of holding on Can only hide what is coming on If its time for letting go Repeat Chorus twice, fade to end Recorded by Jim Glaser in 1984, Man in the Mirror, and written by John Michael and Larry Lafferty Lafferty www.jimglaser.com/

Let Me Down Easy
We met as friends
It was such an easy thing
Love was farther
Than a pauper from his king
But more and more we came to know
Reaching, touch-ing, holding on
If its time for letting go
Chorus:
Let me down
Let me down
Let me down easy
Because you know how I'm gonna break down
When you let me down- oh
Repeat Intro
Verse 2:
It might be you are afraid
Of letting on
Of just what you really feel
But more and more of holding on
Can only hide what is coming on
If its time for letting go
Repeat Chorus twice, fade to end
Recorded by Jim Glaser in 1984, Man in the Mirror, and written by John Michael and Larry Lafferty
