I hear footsteps slowly walking,
                     E7             A
as they gently walk across a lonely floor.
E     A        D      A
And a voice is softly saying:
                          E7          A
"Darling this will be goodbye for evermore."

There goes my reason for liv - ing,
D              E7        A      E7
there goes the one of my dreams.
A             A7      D
There goes my only possession,
A             E7   A     E7
there goes my ev'rything.

As my mem'ry turns back the pages,
                    E7             A
I can see the happy years we had before.
E7      A         D                   A
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
                          E7             A
has been shattered by the closing of the door.
A             E7         A  E7 A   A7
There goes my reason for liv - ing,
D              E7        A      E7
there goes the one of my dreams.
A             A7      D
There goes my only possession,
A             E7   A     E7
there goes my ev'rything.
