softly
thinking in the dark, i watch the shadows deepen
picturing your laugh, your smile
i cannot fall, i will not fall again

thinking in the dark, you lay with eyes still open
memories cry out to you
where has he gone? why has he gone away?

softly, softly crying, you will lay your hand in mine
softly, feel your sorrows melt away into my arms

as i try to calm my mind, and drift to somewhere
i hold you in my arms again
you give me life, you take my life away

as you try to calm your mind, and drift t'ward slumber
one remaining thought screams out
i need him back he will come back again

softly, softly crying, you will lay your hand in mine
softly, feel your sorrows melt away into my arms
softly, softly crying, you can lay your hand in mine
softly, feel your sorrows melt away into my arms

still, i know that you are thinking
that i might not come back at all
somehow, though, i'll find you, darling
i'm not gone

walking in my dream, i see your eyes before me
tumbling into your kiss
i know i'll stay, i have to stay with you

softly, softly crying, you can lay your hand in mine
softly, feel your sorrows melt away into my arms
back
