Lyrics: Roger Miller. Swiss Cottage Place.
I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers
Found reasons to face each new day
In a room full of memories, in a house built for love
On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place
And my mind just surrenders
To all I remember's come to steal every moment away
Yesterday's gone and where I stand here alone
It's a hollow ringin' place called today
Last night I watched baby as she was boardin'
A Greyhound bus back to St Louis
I couldn't let her know I knew why she was leavin'
Not after all we've been through
Slippin' my coat from my shoulders I said
"Honey, it may get cold in St Louis"
And the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad
She knew that I knew what she knew
And my mind just surrenders
To all I remember's come to steal every moment away
From this room full of memories, from this house built for love
On the street down on Swiss Cottage Place
Found reasons to face each new day
In a room full of memories, in a house built for love
On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place
And my mind just surrenders
To all I remember's come to steal every moment away
Yesterday's gone and where I stand here alone
It's a hollow ringin' place called today
Last night I watched baby as she was boardin'
A Greyhound bus back to St Louis
I couldn't let her know I knew why she was leavin'
Not after all we've been through
Slippin' my coat from my shoulders I said
"Honey, it may get cold in St Louis"
And the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad
She knew that I knew what she knew
And my mind just surrenders
To all I remember's come to steal every moment away
From this room full of memories, from this house built for love
On the street down on Swiss Cottage Place
Miller, Roger
