There goes my reason 1. 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. RF: There goes my reason for living, There goes the one of my dreams, There goes my only possession, There goes my everything. RF: 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.
