                     G           C          G
I heard the front door closing softly
                  D7           G
As I waken from my sleep
                            C               G
With the last touch of her lips Lord
                       D7        G
Like a whisper on my cheek

            C                        G
And I cursed the sun for rising
                                            D7
For the worst Lord is yet to come
                      G        C              G
Cause this morning, she's just leaving
                        D7                G
But come sundown, she'll be gone

              G       C            G
See the lipstick on the pillow
                  D7                   G
That I placed beneath her head
                             C                  G
And the soft sheets still feel warm though
                  D7                G
Where she laid upon my bed

         C                           G
And it hurts to know it's over
                                         D7
For the hurt Lord has just begun
                 G       C                   G
Cause this morning, she's just leaving
                D7                C       G
But come sundown, she'll be gone
