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

 Then 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
