House

We buy the morning paper we read the sports and arts We avoid the front page and the business section breaks our hearts The obits are of interest since soon we'll have to go But what's unreal is the real estate it's a real horror show There's no way we can sell our house now so we'll have to stay You can't up and walk out on me And I can't run away We vowed in sickness and in health That means good times and bad Let's hold on to each other And the happiness we had Our bed should be a lifeboat now not a battlefield Let's not give up let's just give in let's not stop let's just yield Forgive me dear for saying so Please don't think I'm a louse But maybe it's a good thing we can't sell our house Suppose we found a buyer we could go our separate ways And consider all our time together just a passing phase But we would lose each other dear and I'm afraid we'd find It was the best part of ourselves that we had left behind I bought this house 8 years ago you made this place our home We loved and fought and laughed and cried tears in our eyes have shone Our house has lost some value due to this hard time But selling it and splitting up would be the greatest crime We had our share of heartache before these times got tough The road's been a bit bumpy and the ride a little rough Death will part us one day in life's game of cat and mouse Till then let's stay together no we can't sell our house We're in for the long run now I'm speaking as your spouse Our happiness is here at home We can't sell our house
