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 For 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 (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 For 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
