INTRO: D

#1.
D                      G       D
I heard the front door closing softly,
             A       D
as I wakened from my sleep.
                    G      D
With the last touch of her lips, Lord,
               A     D
like a whisper on my cheek.

#2.
      G                  D
And I cursed the sun for risin', for the 
                        A
worst, Lord, was yet to come.
           D        G          D
Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
                   A         D
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

D                  G      D
See that lipstick, on the pillow, that I 
         A         D
placed beneath her head.
                    G          D
And the soft sheets still feel warm, 
              A       D
where she lay upon my bed.

#4.
       G                  D
And it hurts to know it's over, cause the 
                       A
hurt, Lord, has just begun.
           D        G          D
Cause this morning, she's just leavin', but, 
              A         D
come sundown, she'll be gone.
