I hear footsteps slowly walking

"There goes my everything"

I hear footsteps slowly walking,
As they gently walk
Across a lonely floor,
And a voice is softly saying,
Darling, this will be
Good-bye for ever more.

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 the door.

There goes my reason for living,
There goes the one of my dreams,
There goes my only possession,
There goes my everything.
