THE THRESHOLD
(Bill Anderson – Chuck Goddard)

RECORDED BY CONNIE SMITH
Many shoes have taken steps across the threshold
But no shoes were ever crowder than his
On the day he carried me across the threshold
And gave his brand new bride a wedding kiss
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 laughing now as I go walking out
I 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
Now I’m standing all alone at the threshold…
I hear him laughing now as I go walking out
