Softly

Softly she comes
Whispers the breeze with her passin'
In secret love she is laughin'
Softly she comes in the night

Softly she sighs
Sweetly she lies never sleepin'
Her fragrance all in my keepin'
Softly she comes in the night

Down the darkened hall
I hear her footsteps on the stair
Then she is in my arms once more

Then softly she goes
Her shinin' lips in the shadows
Whisper goodbye at my window
Softly she goes in the dawn

Softly she goes in the dawn
