Dmaj7             Em           A               Dmaj7   
Softly she comes, whispers the breeze with her passing

Em        A           Dmaj7     D7
In secret love she is laughing

G          C9          Dmaj7     Em    A  
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

A                                 G                D
Down the darkened hall I hear her footsteps on the stair

                            A
Then she is in my arms once more


Then softly she goes, her shining lips in the shadows
Whipers goodbye at my window

G          C9          Dmaj7    D 
Softly she goes in the dawn

G          C7          D 
Softly she goes in the dawn
