Over by the fire there stands a chair
That's the chair he used to sit in
His favourite chair now seems so bare
So empty and alone
In the closet hangs a worn-out shirt
That's the shirt he'd lie around in
That poor old shirt that's hanging there
That he no longer wears
Hey this
This once was the house where
He used to live with me
Oh, oh
This once was his house where
He used to live with me
He left his house and me
Upstairs on the bed his pillow
Lies there patiently awaiting
For his return I know and yearn
To ease his weary, weary head
Dancing on the wall a shadow
Most reminding me of his laughter
That filled our home
But now there's none
Just empty tears and bed
Hey this
This once was the house where
He used to live with me
Oh, oh
This once was his house where
He used to live with me
He left his house and me
Repeat the last verse and fade.
