Down the Backstairs of My Life Lyrics

As you leave please tip-toe down the backstairs of my life,
Down the backstairs of my life.
Everything is all you ever meant and said to me.
Everything you meant to me.

Could you live with all the hurt and the pain
And the tears again?
Yesterday could be a song for the years refrain.
Think the best of me,
I've given all I've been out for,

Oh, I've been bought out.

As you leave please tip-toe down the backstairs of my life,
Down the backstairs of my life.
When you leave you take all my dreams outside my door.
Risk the heart is crying more and more, encore.

In the darkness now all I can see is where we've been,
Oh, where we've been.
As you leave please tip-toe down the backstairs of my life,
Down the backstairs of my life.
Down the backstairs of my life.
Down the backstairs of my life.
The backstairs of my life.
