Softly as I Leave You lyrics

[Verse 1]
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake
And see me go

[Verse 2]
So I leave you softly
Long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour, for one more day

[Chorus]
After all the years
I can't bear the tears
To fall so softly
As I leave you there

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
So I leave you softly
Long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour, for one more day
[Chorus]
Aftеr all the years
I can't bear thе tears
To fall so softly
As I leave you there

[Outro]
(Softly) As I leave you there
(Softly) As I leave you there
