There Goes My Everything
Lost Love Chronicles: Charley Pride's Heartfelt Goodbye
Lyrics
There goes my only possession
Loss of the speaker's most valuable and significant belonging.
There goes my everything
Emphasizing the magnitude of the loss, with "everything" representing the totality of what is gone.
I hear footsteps slowly walking
Introduction of a sound, indicating someone approaching.
As they gently walk across the lonely floor
The steps are heard on a desolate surface, possibly reflecting the emotional emptiness.
And a voice is softly saying
A gentle voice foreshadowing a permanent farewell.
Darling this will be goodbye for evermore
Confirmation of the impending goodbye, suggesting a sense of finality.
There goes my reason for living
The departure of the speaker's purpose or motivation for life.
There goes the one of my dreams
The departure of the person who fulfilled the speaker's dreams.
There goes my only possession
Reiteration of the significant loss, reinforcing its impact.
There goes my everything
Repetition for emphasis on the profound nature of the loss, echoing the sentiment in line 2.
As my memory turns back the pages
Reflecting on past joyful moments through memory.
I can see the happy years we've had before
The acknowledgment of happy times shared before the current painful experience.
The love that kept this heart beating
The love that was the life force has been broken.
Has been shattered by the closing of the door
The metaphorical closing of the door symbolizes the end of the relationship.
So there goes my reason for living
Reiteration of the loss of purpose or reason for living.
There goes the one of my dreams
Reiteration of the departure of the dream, amplifying the emotional impact.
There goes my only possession
Repetition to emphasize the loss of the speaker's most valuable possession, intensifying the emotional weight.
There goes my everything
Repeating the sentiment that the speaker has lost everything.
There goes my only possession
Repetition to drive home the irreplaceable loss of the speaker's only possession.
There goes my everything
Final repetition emphasizing the complete and devastating loss of everything.
