Text: Brenda Lee. In The Mood For Love: Classic Ballads. Softly, As I Leave You.

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, for one more day

After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
Softly as I leave you there

For one more day, after all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
Softly as I leave you there
As I leave you there, as I leave you there
