Oh if this old house could talk,
|
What a story it would tell.
|
It would tell about the good times,
|
And the bad times as well.
|
|
It would tell about the love that lived,
|
And died inside these walls.
|
And the sound of the little footsteps,
|
Runnin' up and down the hall.
|
|
Oh if this old house could talk,
|
It would break my heart in two.
|
I couldn't stand to be reminded,
|
Of all the things we used to do.
|
|
There's no love in this old house no more,
|
So I got it up for sale.
|
Why if this old house could talk,
|
What a story it would tell.
|
|
Oh if this old house could talk,
|
I know what it would say.
|
I'm as lonesome as you are,
|
And I feel more empty every day.
|
|
I even miss the baby,
|
Who built me up to feel this way.
|
Why if this old house could talk,
|
Lord I know what it would say.
|
|
Yeah if this old house could talk,
|
What a story it would tell.
|
We'll build this home together,
|
And with love we drove each nail.
|
|
Take me in your arms and hold me,
|
'Cause we've been apart too long.
|
Why if this old house could talk,
|
All it would say is welcome home.
