Be A Little Quieter Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

When you left you said you would not be returning 

Nothing here you'd ever want to see again 

But each night you've come to visit me in mem'ries 

And won't you be a little quieter if you can 

Last night I heard you walkin' in the hallway 

And your footsteps sounded like a marching band 

And I haven't slept in so long I can't remember 

So won't you be a little quieter if you can 

[ fiddle ] 

Well you're back again tonight out in the kitchen 

I can hear you as you rattle the pots and pans 

Oh what I'd give to see you when you visit me 

Cause these lonely walls're driving me insane 

When you're finished with your bath please close the closet 

The dripping water sounds juts like a drivin' rain 

Each night I'm looking forward to your visit 

But won't you be a little quieter if you can 

I wish you'd be a little quieter if you can
