Softly As I Leave You

Johnny Rivers

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 those years, I can't bear the tears to fall 
So, softly as I leave you there 

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 those 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
