Close the Door Lightly When You Go Lyrics by Eric Andersen

‘Bout Changes ’n’ Things

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Who was the one that stole my mind?
Who was the one that robbed my time?
Who was the one that made me feel unkind?
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
[Verse 2]
Take your tears to someone else's eyes
They're made of glass and they cut like wounding lies
Memories are drifting like the snow
So close the door lightly when you go
[Chorus]
Who was the one that stole my mind?
Who was the one that robbed my time?
Who was the one that made me feel unkind?
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
[Verse 3]
Don't look back to where you once had 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
[Chorus]
Who was the one that stole my mind?
Who was the one that robbed my time?
Who was the one that made me feel unkind?
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
[Verse 1, Reprise]
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
[Outro]
Close the door lightly when you go
Close the door lightly when you go
