Lyrics Softly As I Leave You - Lena Horne

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 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 miss me
Long before your arms can make 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
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 you there, as I leave you there
