Look softly my darling 
When you look at me 
Be calm and be tender 
As I take my leave 

I want to remember 
Your lovely face 
Serene and peaceful
As I leave this place 

Let us talk of things 
That are close to our hearts 
Of bittersweet endings
Of gentle new starts

Of faces and places 
Those still here, those gone 
Of tea-cozied rainy days 
As I hum my last song 

Look softly my dear one 
When you look at me
Let your beautiful smile
Be the last thing I see
