Softly, as I Leave You

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

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
