If This Old House Could Talk

Lyrics

There's a mark besides the door That he made when I was four to watch me grow And that nail's still there where he hung his cane when he grew old This old roof is barely hanging on The porch is all but gone But as I step through this open door Memories gather 'round me I can almost hear the laughter once more If this old house could talk The stories it could tell The love that fills these rooms Ran deeper than a well And I'd give anything Just to hear my mama call Daddy's footsteps in the hall Back then I had it all If this old house could talk It seems like yesterday I packed to move away And mama cried And daddy held me close Said "Son we love you so, don't forget to write" And somewhere in between Growing up and chasing dreams One day I turned around and they were gone And silence in these rooms plays heavy on my heart Just like a stone If this old house could talk The stories it could tell The love that fills these rooms Ran deeper than a well And I'd give anything Just to hear my mama call Daddy's footsteps in the hall Back then I had it all If this old house could talk Daddy's footsteps in the hall Back then I had it all If this old house could talk
