Handle With Care

handle with care - that's what it says on the instructions outside
gently, as if you know there's something precious inside
handle with care - someone has packed a box especially for you
something that's precious and fragile, but something that's true

handle with care - it must be treated like a bone-china cup
you must take care, my darling, when you open it up
inside you'll find a love that is everlasting,
but when you open the box, oh my darling, please handle with care

remember love is brittle, it's not a thing to shake
cos what you handle roughly tends to break

so darling please be careful, attention must be paid
a love so fine is delicately made

handle with care - it must be treated like a bone-china cup
you must take care, my darling, when you open it up
inside you'll find a love that is everlasting,
but when you open the box, oh my darling, please handle with care
handle with care
