C     Dm7       G7        C
 Softly, I will leave you softly
Dm7      G7          C
  For my heart would break
              F               C
If you should wake and see me go
Dm7    G7        Eb
  So I leave you softly,
Fm7     Bb7       Eb
  Long before you miss me
Fm7     Bb7        Eb
  Long before your arms
            Ab
Can beg me stay
             Gm7 Eb
For one more hour
Fm7  Bb7      C
  Or one more day
Dm7     G7      C
  After all the years,
Dm       G7       Am    C6 F
 I can't bear the tears to fall
   Ab   Fm7               C  Dm7  G7
So softly as I leave you there
