The Other Side of the Door
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
I leave my dreams, I leave my heart
On the other side of the door with you my love
On the other side of the door with you my love.
Walking home alone where are the stars
Where is the moon, where is my world
On the other side of the door with you my love
On the other side of the door with you my love.
My arms don't wanna go my lips just long to stay
And all my heart can hardly wait until our wedding day
Then I'll have the right to spend my hours
To spend my years to spend my life
On the other side of the door with you my love
On the other side of the door with you my love...
