Lyrics


If you have to go, go gently
Leave me to this place
Let the time conceal the memories ,
Blur the details of your face

If you have to go, go gently
Let the night come, as it will
With the clocks to Count the hours
In the rooms that are too still

If you have to go, go quietly
Maybe then I won't regret
The music that your voice makes
One more detail to forget

If you have to go, go gently
Let the night come, as it will
With the clocks to Count the hours
In the rooms that are too still

If you have to go, go gently
Let the night come, as it will
With the clocks to Count the hours
In the rooms that are too still
If you have to go, go gently -3x
Please Go
