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. 

CHORUS: 
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. 

(CHORUS)
