written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.



Verse 1:
      D                       G         D
	I heard the front door closing softly                     
                    A          D  
	As i wakened from my sleep                              
                           G        D
	With the last touch of her lips, Lord                     
                      A        D
	Like a whisper on my cheek                              


Chorus:
      D        G                  D  
	And i cursed the sun for risin'                           
	                                    A
	'Cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come     
	             D     G            D 
	'Cause this morning,she's just leavin' me      
	                A           D
	But come sundown,she'll be gone.           
        

Verse 3:
      D                 G        D                                    
	See the lipstick on the pillow                 
                     A             D  
	That i placed beneath her head              
                           G            D
	And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord     
                     A         D 
	Where she lay upon my bed                   


Chorus bis:
      D         G                 D 
	And it hurts to know it's over                
                                           A
	'Cause the hurt, Lord, has just begun          
                     D     G            D 
	'Cause this morning,she's just leavin' me       
                        A           D 
	But come sundown,she'll be gone
