There Goes My Everything

Elvis Presley · Elvis Country

There goes my only possession
There goes my everything

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across the lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye for evermore

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

As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years weÂ’ve had before
Now the love that kept this heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door
