Softly, I will leave you softly
For
my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly,
long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more
hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to
fall
So, softly as I leave you there

(Softly, long before you kiss
me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one
more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly
as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there
