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 As I leave you there As I leave you there After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall So softly as I leave you there As I leave you there As I leave you there
