Softly (La Vita)

Right here in this room

We have talked in laughter and in tears

Now things we daily took for granted

Will soon be souvenirs

So softly

Darling, if you've got to leave me

Then baby, do it gently

Oh, so it don't hurt quite as hard as it might

Baby, let me down softly

Oh darling, you can go free

But baby, do it softly

Don't let it be tonight

Knowing the ending

From the very moment this thing started

Made no difference

When your heart breaks, my friend, you're broken-hearted

So softly

Darling, if you've got to leave me

Then baby, do it gently

Please, so it don't hurt quite as hard as it might

Baby, let me down softly

Oh darling, you can go free

But baby, do it softly

Don't let it be tonight
