I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across the lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling, this will be goodbye for evermore!
There goes my reason for living!
There goes the one of my dreams!
There goes my only possession!
There goes my everything!
As my memories turn back the pages
I can see the happy years we've had before.
How the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door!
There goes my reason for living!
There goes the one of my dreams!
There goes my only possession!
There goes my everything!
