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 make me stay

For one more hour, for one more day

After all the years

I can't bear the tears to fall

Softly as I leave you there

For one more day, after all the years

I can't bear the tears to fall

Softly as I leave you there

As I leave you there, as I leave you there
