Softly she comes, whispers the breeze with her passing
In secret love, she is laughing
Softly she comes in the night
Softly she sighs, sweetly she lies never sleeping
Her fragrance all in my keeping
Softly she comes in the night
Down the darkened hall I hear her footsteps on the stair
Then she is in my arms once more
Then softly she goes, her shining lips in the shadows,
Whisper good-bye at my window
Softly she goes in the dawn
Softly she goes in the dawn
