Neil Diamond — Softly As I Leave You 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
(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
