Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothin' here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
[Verse 2]
Over there, sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me
And sit down on my knee
And whisper, oh, I love you
But now, she's gone forever
And this old house will never
Be the same without the love that we once knew
[Verse 3]
Straight ahead, that's the bed
Where we'd lay in love together
And Lord knows, we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say, "Good morning, dear?"
[Verse 4]
There's her rings, all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Like she left them
When she tore my world apart
As you leave, you'll see the nursery
Oh, she left me without mercy
Taking nothing
But our baby and my heart
[Outro]
Step right up, come on in
