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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Long before your arms can beg me stay

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

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, long before you kiss 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 I you there

As I leave I you there

(Ah)
