(verse 1)
DGD
I heard the front door, closing softly,
AD
As I wakened, from my sleep;
GD
With the last touch, of her lips, lord,
AD
Like a whisper, on my cheek;
GD
And I cursed the sun for risin',
A
cause the worst, lord, was yet to come;
DGD
cause this morning, she's just leavin',
AD - G - D - A - D
But, come sundown, she'll be gone.
(verse 2)
See the lipstick on the pillow
That I placed beneath her head;
And the soft sheets still feel warm, lord,
Where she lay upon my bed;
(chorus)
GD
And it hurts to know it's over,
A
For the hurt, lord, has just begun.
DGD
'cause this morning, she's just leavin',
AD
But, come sundown, she'll be gone.
