Lyrics

[00:19.490] Softly,I will leave you softly
[00:31.490] For my heart would break
[00:37.490] If you should wake and see me go
[00:52.490] Softly, long before you miss me
[01:04.490] Long before your arms can beg me to stay
[01:15.490] For just one hour or one more day
[01:28.490] After all the years
[01:33.490] I can't bear the tears to fall
[01:42.490] So softly as I leave you there
[01:58.490] I can't bear the tears to fall
[02:08.490] So softly as I leave you there
[02:22.490] as I leave you there
[02:32.490] as I leave you there
