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
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
As I leave you there
As I leave you there

After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I leave you there

As I leave you there (as I leave you there)
As I leave you there (as I leave you there)
