This Old House

from WHAT DO YOU DREAM by Billy O'Dwyer Bob

/

lyrics

Chorus
This old house is full of happiness
This old house is full of love
This old house is full of peace and joy
Blessed by the hands of God above.

There's the old worn out welcome mat
The front door painted shining white
And in the window guiding me back home
Burns a candle big and bright.

There's the old wood kitchen table
Where we'd gather everyone
Singing songs and telling stories
Simple times and simple fun.

Daddy sitting in his big chair
A smile that never seems to change
Mother cooking in the kitchen
Kettle singing on the range.

There's the bedroom where we used to sleep
All huddled up and bundled tight
We'd sound off like an old school roll call
As one by one we'd say goodnight.

There's the old dog, he don't bark no more
His golden years now nearly done
He sleeps and dreams of better days gone by
We laughed and played when we were young.

This old house feels warm and tender
No matter when or where I roam
It's in my heart, it's in my memory
This little house that we call home.

Chorus x2
