|
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
|
|
(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
|
