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 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.
