Lyrics Down The Backstairs Of My Life - Yvonne Elliman

As you leave
Please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life
Everything is all you ever meant
And said to me

Could you live with all the hurt
The pain and tears again
Yesterday should be a song
For the years refrain

Vacant vessel
Me, I′ve given all
I've been outpoured
Oh, I′ve been poured out
As you leave
Please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life

When you leave
You're taking all of my dreams outside my door
Twisted heart is crying more
Oh, more, encore

In the darkness
Now all I can see is where I've been
As you leave
Please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life
