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