"Softly, As I Leave You" lyrics

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 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

Long before your arms
Can beg me stay
For one more hour
Or one more day

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
