Softly As I Leave You Frank Sinatra Writers: Hal Shaper and Antonio DeVita and Giorgio Calabrese Peak chart position # 27 in 1964 Previously hit # 16 for Matt Monro in 1962 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
