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
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Long before your arms can beg me stay
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
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
(Ah)
Written by: Antonio DeVita, Giorgio Calabrese, Hal Shaper
