I consider this to be the Mother
of All Tear Jerker songs.
Elvis also did a very touching
rendition of this
in which he starts out
with a descriptive monologue
on how a man is dying
and he sees that his wife
has fallen asleep in the chair next to him..
and he dies without waking her..
after saying these words to her..
...softly...
...as I leave you...

Guaranteed to bring tears
to your eyes.



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 you there,
..As I leave you there..


*It's all said & done, it's real, and it's been fun.*

All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy,
for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Be the living expression of God's kindness:
kindness in your face,
kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile.

i like matt monroe's version..
Matt was born Terry Parsons in north London in 1930,
to Alice and Frederick.
He died at the Cromwell hospital in London,
7th February 1985, at the age of only 54.
He was a heavy drinker and smoker...
he passed away at this young age
due to cancer of the liver.

May I "softly" change the rhythm
May I gently leave a touch
that makes a difference
May I intentionally
double the meaning
to draw a smile amongst the tears
exactly as if the sun rising
amongst the cloud
May I continue ask
without a question mark
'cause the morning that caries the answers
never seems to come yet

This is just the most romantic song in the world i think,
also the most saddest i think,
if anyone does not have a tear after listening to it
and understanding why it was sung,
there must be something wrong with them,
you sing it so passionately with such feelings too,
really beautiful..

Listening to Elvis spoken version and in the background someone singing. Too sad. Then seeing an old pics of Elvis & Pricilla. Typical handsome prince and beautiful princess. They were so playfully in love. The change that ripped them up. Just so sad. Only eteranal happiness for the lucky...

[I God is pure love...
