Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard that front door closing softly
As I awakened from my sleep
With the soft touch of her lips, Lord
Like a whisper on my cheek
[Verse 2]
And I cursed the sun for rising
For the worst, Lord, was yet to come
'Cause this morning she's just leaving
But come sundown, she'll be gone
[Verse 3]
See that lipstick on the pillow
That I place beneath her head
And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord
Where she lay upon my bed
And it hurts to know it's over
[Verse 4]
'Cause the hurt, Lord, has just begun
'Cause this morning she's just leaving
But come sundown, she'll be gone
Yeah, come sundown, she'll be gone
