"There Goes My Everything" is a popular song written by Dallas Frazier and published in 1965.^[2] "There Goes My Everything" is now considered a country music standard, covered by many artists.

Jack Greene recording[edit]

The song is best known in a 1966 version by Jack Greene whose version spent seven weeks at the top of the US country music chart, with a total of 21 weeks on the chart.^[3] It peaked at 65 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[4] It was Jack Greene's only crossover hit. The song also won several awards, including "Single of the Year" and "Song of the Year" at the first CMA Awards presentation. In addition, the accompanying album of the same title won "Album of the Year", and Greene won "Male Vocalist of the Year".

Content[edit]

The song is about a couple who are splitting up, but why is a mystery. The singer says that he can hear a voice refer to him as "darling", which seems an unlikely address when a couple are bitterly splitting up. The song describes the narrator's feelings as his lover is leaving him. He comes to realize how much she meant to him now that he is losing her — "There goes my reason for living/There goes the one of my dreams/There goes my only possession/There goes my everything".
