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 my stair   And she is in my arms once more      Softly she goes   Her shining lips in the shadows   Whisper goodbye at my window   Softly she goes in the dawn   Softly she goes in the dawn
