Αndy Williams......Softly As I Leave You.

Αndy Williams......Softly As I Leave You.
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 could beg me stay
For just one hour or just a day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly, as I leave you there
Long before your arms can beg me stay for one more hour
Or one more day
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..

The great Andy Williams....he's got to have the most melodic voice for these songs.

One of the smoothest and emotional voices ever.. My mom so loved Andy Williams.. I heard his records endlessly growing up.. He is one of the reasons I became a singer

So heart touching this song. Went thru my head in my mom's last days in April 2011. And just three days ago on February 8, 2024 I had to have my boy cat Brownie euthanized by my vet due to cancer and lung problems causing labored breathing. Made him unfit for anesthesia for eye surgery. He was 11 years old and I had him 6 years 4 months. The 3 year anniversary of my other boy cat Magus is on February 17, 2024 in 6 days. Very sad time for me.

Kanye can suck it. Our elders knew how to write songs that infused our hearts, instead of dragging us into the gutter.
