This next song is a song that we, uh, I'll get to in just a minute.
Uh, it's a song that, uh, it's been around for a number of years,
but nobody's ever really known the true story behind it.
And I happened to find out the story from some people down in Florida.
It's the story of a man who's dying, he's in the hospital,
and his wife has been sitting by his bedside for three days and three nights.
And somewhere on the third day between midnight [C] and day,
she laid on beside him and dozed off to sleep.
And he felt her when she dozed off to sleep,
and at the same time, he felt himself start to die.
And he didn't want her to see him die,
so he took his notepad from the side of the bed,
and he wrote,
Softly, I [Dm] will leave
[G] [C] you,
Softly, [F] for [G] my [C] heart would break,
If [F] you should wait and [C] see me go.
[G] So I'll leave [Eb] you, softly,
[Fm] Long before [Bb] you miss [Eb] me,
[Ab] Long before your [Bb]
[Eb] arms can [Ab] beg me stay,
For one [Eb] more hour, [Ab] [F]
[C] [Dm] after [G]
all [C] the years,
[F] I can't [G] bear [C] the tears [F] to fall,
[D] So softly, I will [C] leave you there,
[Dm] [G] I will leave you there.
[C] [E]
