Go Softly
into
the velvet night
my
love
ere the weary sun opens
it's
blood-shot eyes
and
sees you gone
once again..away from me.
Go softly now
slip
away in the dark
so
you don't see me cry
into the sunken pillow
where
once you lie.
So go softly my love
and
lay the rose by my face
where
the dew can mingle
with my tears, reminding me of your
sweet
kiss.......your smile.
Go softly now
leaving
the imprint from your body
to
stay beside me ...for awhile
to remind me of the past
so
I can dream our love will last
forever wherever you go..
for
I will need you so.
Softly go,
tip-toe
through my dreams
leaving
no footprints there,
no times for me to grieve
as
you were truly here,
then go softly......
