Turn around don't whisper out my name For like a breeze it might stir a dyin' flame I'll miss someone if it eases you know So close the door lightly when you go.
Take your tears to someone elses 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.
Who was the one who wasted time Who was the one who stole my mind Who was the one who made me feel unkind So fare thee well sweet love of mine
Don't look back to where you once had been Look straight ahead if you're walking in the rain And find a life if the path is dark and cold And close the door lightly when you go.
