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 make me stay For one more hour or one more day After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall Softly as I leave you there Oh one more day, after all the years I can't bear the tears to fall Softly as I leave you there As I leave you there, as I leave you there
