Who am I kidding?

(With apologies to John McCutcheon. You really should listen to this. )

There's a room in our house
At the top of the stair
Now the bed has clean sheets
And the floors are all bare
A presentable place
When folks come to stay
Your daddy and I
Boxed and moved you away
To a tiny apartment
in a far away town
Now I sit on the bed
As the memories rain down
There's a hole in my heart
Where you'll always be there
In that room at the top of the stair
