Softly, I will leave you softly For my heart would break, if you should wake and see me go So I'll 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 Long before your arms can beg me stay for one more hour, or one more day 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
