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 there

 

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 there
