Softly, As I Leave You Lyrics - The Sandpipers - The Sandpipers

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 to 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 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 to 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
