Eric Andersen Close The Door Lightly When You Go by Eric Andersen
D A D
Turn around, don't whisper out my name
A G D
For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame
A D
I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know
G A D
But close the door lightly when you go
G A D
Who was the one that stole my mind
G A D
Who was the one that robbed my time
G A D
Who was the one who made me feel unkind
G A D
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
D A D
Take your tears to someone else's eyes
A
They're made of glass
G D
And are cut like wounded lies
A D
Memories are drifting like the snow
G A D
So close the door lightly when you go
G A D
Who was the one that stole my mind
G A D
Who was the one that robbed my time
G A D
Who was the one who made me feel unkind
G A D
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
D A D
Don't look back to where you once hade been
A
Look straight ahead
G D
When you're walking through the rain
A
And find a light
A D
If the path gets dark and cold
G A D
But close the door lightly when you go
G A D
Who was the one that stole my mind
G A D
Who was the one that robbed my time
G A D
Who was the one who made me feel unkind
G A D
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
E B E
Turn around, don't whisper out my name
B A E
For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame
B E
I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know
A B E
But close the door lightly when you go
