Behind His Last Goodbye Lyrics - Lorrie Morgan

With a gentle hand he sweeps a strand of hair back from my eyes 

And sees me cry 

And with a tenderness he'll press his lips to mine 

And for a while he holds me tight 

And oh he's careful not to close the door behind his last goodbye 

He leaves me breathless and he makes the woman in me come alive 

And I'm a fool who, who let's him in time and again don't ask me why 

While the moments turn to precious memories 

The questions go unanswered in my mind 

And though he's careful not to burn the bridge behind his last goodbye 

He wanders in and out my life 

Through the shadows like a thief would in the night 

Though he leaves but when he leaves 

He leaves more than just a woman satisfied 

And though he's careful not to close the door behind his last goodbye 

He leaves me breathless and he makes the woman in me come alive 

And I'm a fool who, who let's him in time and again don't ask me why 

While the moments turn to precious memories 

The questions go unanswered in my mind 

And though he's careful not to burn the bridge behind his last goodbye
