the grand tour
Step right up, come on in If you'd like to take the grand tour Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home I have nothing here to sell you Just some things that I will tell you Some things I know will chill you to the bone  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  Straight ahead that's the bed Where we lay and 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?"  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  Step right up, come on in
