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

 (Softly, long before you kiss 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
 As I leave I you there
 As I leave I you there
