Softly, I will leave you softly For my heart would break If you should leave And see me go So I leave you softly Long before you miss me Long before your arms beg me to stay For one more hour For one more day After all the years I can?t bear the tears To fall, so softly As I leave you there Softly, long before you kiss me Long before your arms can beg me stay For one more hour For 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
