I hear footsteps slowly walking As they gently walk across a lonely floor And a voice is softly saying "Darling, this will be goodbye forevermore" There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possession There goes my everything As my memory turns back the pages I can see the happy years we had before Now 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
