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..
