Lyrics

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 make 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 miss me

Long before your arms can make 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 you there

As I leave you there

Written by: Antonio DeVita, Giorgio Calabrese, Hal Shaper
