Softly as I Leave You

Softly, I will leave you softly

For my heart would break

If you should wake

And see me gone

So I leave you softly

Long before you miss me

Long before your arms

Beg me to 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

Softly, long before you kiss 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
