This Old House

[Verse 1]

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 running up and down the hall

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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'
