That's All That's Left of My Baby

(Walter Hayness - Lorene Allen)



That faint sweet smell of her perfume

A powder box that plays a tune

Lacy objects around the room

That's all that's left of my baby.



The record that she loved to play

Some clothes she hadn't put away

Some bills of hers I'll have to pay

That's all that's left of my baby.



But baby's gone to my regret

For baby wants my baby gets

I was just a stepping stone

she's stepping higher now baby's gone.



I could give her things away

Reminders that she's gone to stay

But I'll have a mem'ry anyway

That's all that's left of my baby.



That's all that's left of my baby...
