Over by the fire there stands a chair That's the chair he used to sit in His favourite chair now seems so bare So empty and alone In the closet hangs a worn-out shirt That's the shirt he'd lie around in That poor old shirt that's hanging there That he no longer wears Hey this This once was the house where He used to live with me Oh, oh This once was his house where He used to live with me He left his house and me Upstairs on the bed his pillow Lies there patiently awaiting For his return I know and yearn To ease his weary, weary head Dancing on the wall a shadow Most reminding me of his laughter That filled our home But now there's none Just empty tears and bed Hey this This once was the house where He used to live with me Oh, oh This once was his house where He used to live with me He left his house and me Repeat the last verse and fade.
