G                       C       G
I heard the front door  closing softly 

              D7      G
As I wakened  from my sleep

                     C      G
With the last touch  of her lips Lord 

                D7    G     G7
Like a whisper  on my cheek

 
      C                  G
And I cursed the sun for rising 

                             D7
For the worst Lord is yet to come

           G        C          G
Cause this morning  she's just leaving 

                  D7        G
But come sundown  she'll be gone

 
                  C      G
See the lipstick  on the pillow
 
               D7          G
That I placed  beneath her head

                     C          G
And the soft sheets  still feel warm Lord 

               D7      G    G7
Where she lay  upon my bed

 
       C                  G
And it hurts to know it's over
 
                           D7
For the hurt Lord has just begun

           G        C          G
Cause this morning  she's just leaving 

                  D7        C  G
But come sundown  she'll be gone
