If These Walls Could Speak

If these old walls, if these old walls could speak

What a tale they'd have to tell, hard headed people raisin' hell

A couple in love livin' week to week

Rooms full of laughter, if these old walls could speak

If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk

These would have a tale to tell

The sun goin' down, dinner bells

And children playin' in hide and seek

From floor to rafters, if these old halls could speak

They would tell you that I'm sorry

Bein' cold, and blind, and weak

They would tell you that it's only

That I have a stubborn streak

If these walls could speak

If these old fashion

Window panes were eyes

I guess they would have seen it all

Each little tear and silent footfall

And every dream that we came to seek

Or followed after

If these walls could speak

They would tell you that I owe you

More than I could ever pay

Here's someone who really loves you

Don't ever go away

That's what these walls would say
