Please Don't Close the Door |
LyricsPlease Don?t Close the DoorI know it?s late I hate to wake you In the middle of the night But I saw your porch light shining Like a beacon burning bright. You have every right To put the shades down And I wouldn?t blame you if you did But still I?d hoped you?d put some coffee on And we could talk a little bit. Please don?t close the door Don?t turn me home tonight I don?t wanna cry no more And I?m too weak to fight I swear I?m not the same man That walked out on you before I?m down on my knees I?m begging you please Darling please don?t close the door {Bridge} My daddy used to say that life was ever-changing Nothing ever stays the same One door opens One door closes And you can?t go back again. I spent half the night in this old pick up Rehearsing the words to get em right But they?d just come out all wrong anyway And she just turned out the light. So here I am On her door step Don?t think I?ll even ring the bell Part of me wondering what might have been And part of me thinking ?just as well?. Please don?t close the door Don?t turn me home tonight I don?t wanna cry no more And I?m too weak to fight I swear I?m not the same man That walked out on you before I?m down on my knees I?m begging you please Darling please don?t close the door |
