I will leave you softly

I WILL LEAVE YOU SOFTLY 

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 …
