THE THRESHOLD

(Bill Anderson – Chuck Goddard)

RECORDED BY CONNIE SMITH



Many shoes have taken steps across the threshold

But no shoes were ever crowder than his

On the day he carried me across the threshold

And gave his brand new bride a wedding kiss

Now a hundred heartaches later at the threshold

All his love for me has vanished there's no doubt

And the lips that kissed me coming through the threshold

Stand there laughing now as I go walking out

I built my little world behind that threshold

I may not have made him happy but I tried

Still his eyes keep looking out across the threshold

For the happiness he thinks he left outside

Now I'm standing all alone at the threshold...

I hear him laughing now as I go walking out
