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 stay e stay)
For one more hour
For one more day
After all the years
I can't bare the tears
To fall
So softly, so softly
I will leave you
I will leave you there
