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
