This House Songtext

von Richie McDonald

The moving van was right on time, about a quarter after nine
Started taking things out one by one
All the pictures of the walls, only echoes fill the halls
Barren windows where the curtains hung
It's hard to say good bye, it's hard to leave behind
All these things we can't put in a box

All the love that filled this house will still be here when we move out
It's in the rafters and the floors from every room through every door
Every wall has memories, if they could talk like they can see
They'd be whispering about all the love that filled this house

It's where we laughed, it's where we cried
Spent ten years of our lives
Everyday we watched our children grow
Birthday parties, baseball games
Smiling faces Christmas day
Making backyard angels in the snow
It's gonna break our hearts to drive off in that car
There's so much here we could never take

All the love that filled this house will still be here when we move out
It's in the rafters and the floors from every room through every door
Every wall has memories, if they could talk like they can see
They'd be whispering about all the love that filled this house

My only wish is the family moving in loves here like we did

All the love that filled this house will still be here when we move out
It's in the rafters and the floors from every room through every door
Every wall has memories, if they could talk like they can see
They'd be whispering about all the love that filled this house
All the love that filled this house
This house
