A        Bm7         E7         A       Bm7         E7          A      
Softly,       I will leave you, softly,      for my heart would break,  
              D                 A     Bm7 
If you should wake, and, see me go.

So I leave you, softly,      Long before you, miss me, 
                  C                F 
Long before, your arms, can beg me stay, 
             Em7   C     G7       A     Bm7 
For one more hour,   or, one more day. 


      E7      A      Dm          E7       F#m    F#m7  D

   F       Dm7      E7         A       Bm7  E7 
So softly,     as I leave, you there.
