[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything

[Verse 2]
As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door

[Chorus]
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
