Lyrics

Please Don?t Close the Door

I 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
