I Never Pass There Anymore
Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]
There's a house just down the street
A welcome mat outside the door
But it's for him and not for me
I never pass there anymore.
Within this house there is a girl
I'll always adore
But I've been vanished from her world
I never pass there anymore.
Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.
Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore.
Within this girl there is a heart
And in this part there is a love
But it's a love for someone else
I'm not the one she's dreaming of.
Yes, there's a house just down the street
I've been there many times before
But now it's best we never meet
I never pass there anymore...
