WE FIVE
"Softly, As I Leave You"
(Antonio De Vita, Hal Shaper)

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
For 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 (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
For 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
