[Verse 1]

Many shoes have taken steps across the threshold

But no shoes were ever prouder than his

On the day he carried me across the threshold

And gave his brand new bride her wedding kiss

[Chorus]

Now a hundred heartaches later at the threshold

All his love for me has vanished, there's no doubt

And the lips that kissed me coming through the threshold

Stand there laughin' now as I go walking out

[Verse 2]

I've built my little world behind that threshold

I may not have made him happy, but I tried

Still his eyes keep looking out across the threshold

For the happiness he thinks he left outside

[Chorus]

Now I'm standing all alone at the threshold

All his love for me has vanished, there's no doubt

And the lips that kissed me coming through the threshold

Stand there laughin' now as I go walking out

I hear him laughin' now as I go walking out
