R, 86 bytes
x=utf8ToInt(scan(,''));s=sapply;cat(gsub(" .+"," ",s(s(x,`:`,97),intToUtf8)),sep="\n")
Ungolfed:
x=utf8ToInt(scan(,'')) #Takes input, converts to ASCII
s=sapply; #Alias sapply function to save a byte
s(x,`:`,97) #Create vector from 97 to respective ASCII value
s( ,intToUtf8) #Convert to character
gsub(" .+"," ", ) #Removes everything after space
cat( ,sep="\n") #Outputs to console
Could likely be golfed.
NOTE: It does not use recursion. I do not know whether that would be shorter or not. I'll experiment later.
