“CLOSE THE DOOR LIGHTLY WHEN YOU GO” by Eric Andersen

Intro: C
 
       G                           C
Turn around, don't whisper out my name
            G             F            C
For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame
              G                        C
I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know
     F             G                C4 C
So close the door lightly when you go
 
  F         G                  C4 C
Who was the one that stole my mind ?
  F         G                  C   C4
Who was the one that robbed my time ?
  F                  G              C
Who was the one who made me feel unkind ?
    F             G               C4 C
So fare thee well, sweet love of mine
           G                       C
Take your tears to someone else's eyes
                  G
They're made of glass
         F                C
And are cut like wounded lies
     G                          C
Memories are drifting like the snow
      F             G               C C4 C
But close the door lightly when you go
 
(Chorus)
            G                           C
Don't look back to where you once hade been
                G
Look straight ahead
             F                   C
When you're walking through the rain
            G
And find a light
                           C
If the path gets dark and cold
      F             G               C
But close the door lightly when you go
      F             G               C  C4 C
But close the door lightly when you go
      F             G               C  C4 C
But close the door lightly when you go
