(verse)
|
No keepsakes have we for days that are gone,
|
No fond recollections to look back upon,
|
No song that we love, no scene to recall,
|
We have no traditions at all.
|
|
(refrain)
|
We have nothing to remember so far, so far,
|
So far we haven't walked by night and shared the light of a star.
|
So far your heart has never fluttered so near, so near
|
That my own heart alone could hear it.
|
We haven't gone beyond the very beginning,
|
We've just begun to know how lucky we are.
|
So we have nothing to remember so far, so far.
|
But now I'm face to face with you and now at last we've met,
|
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget.
|
|
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 can beg me stay
|
For one more hour or one more day
|
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
|
So, softly as I leave you there
|
|
(Softly, long before you kiss me)
|
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
|
(For one more hour) or one more day
|
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
|
So, softly as I leave you there
|
As I leave I you there
|
As I leave I you there
|
|
|
