This Old House

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 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 nonempty everyday

Well, I even miss the babies

Who built me up to feel this way

Why, if this old house could talk

Lord, I know what it would say

If this old house could talk

What a story it would tell

We built 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
