Every room seems empty now since she's gone away   The music of her laughter is a thing of yesterday   The patter of her footsteps when she'd meet me at the door   The smiling face I loved to see is gone forever more      I see a cozy love seat when we used to sit and talk   My tears fall on the carper where my sweet bay used to walk   [ fiddle ]   A dozen other women I might get to take her place   But none to touch her sweetness none would have her grace   When her footsteps pleaded from me it cut me like a sword   A goodbye told me she was gone my baby I adore   I see a cozy love seat...   My tears fall on the carper where my sweet bay used to walk
