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      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 against my will he says goodbye
