This is the story of a man
who was in a hospital, who was
dying.
His wife had been sitting by his
bedside for three days and three
nights.
Somewhere on the third day,
between midnight and day,
she laid down beside him and
dozed off to sleep.
He sensed her when she dozed off
to sleep.
At the same time he felt himself
starting to die.
He didn't want her to see him
pass away,
so he took his notepad by the
side of the bed and he wrote...
Softly, As I Leave You
with Sherrill Nielsen
Softly (Softly)
I will leave you (I will leave
you softly)
For my heart would break (For my
heart would break)
If you should wake (If you
should wake)
And see me go (And see me go)
So I leave you
(So I leave you)
Softly (Softly)
Long before you miss me (Long
before you miss me)
Long before your arms can beg me
stay
(Long before your arms can beg
me stay)
For one more hour (For one more
hour)
For one more day (For one more
day)
After all the
years (After all the years)
I can't bare the tears (I can't
bare the tears)
To fall (To fall)
So softly, (So softly) so softly
(I will leave you there)
I will leave you there
A Day Of Memories
A day of memories,
Laughter and tears
A man never forgotten
Through all they years.
A grin, a
wink,
And that come-hither look
The twitch of a leg
And that's all it took.
We fell for
his music,
His looks and his style
And followed his tours
Over many a mile.
There is no
end,
There can be no goodbyes
For when I look back
I see those blue eyes.
So today I'll
celebrate
And toast his name
Since he came on the scene
Music was never the same.
The memories
are sweet
And never will die
There is no end,
There can be no goodbye.
