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 to 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 thereSoftly 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 to 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
