This House

The moving van was right on time about a quarter after nine

Started taking things out one by one

All the pictures off the wall only echoes fill the halls

Barren windows where the curtains hung

It’s hard to say good bye and hard to leave behind

All the 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

All the walls have memories if they could talk like they can see

They’d be whispering about all the love that filled this house



Its where we laughed its where we cried

Spent the best years of our lives

Cause everyday we watched our children grow

Birthday parties baseball games

Smiling faces Christmas day

Making backyard angels in the snow

Its 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

All the walls have 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
