This Old House

This old house standing all alone

This old house standing all alone

Makes me treasure all those memories

of my childhood and my youth

and some secrets I'm not about to tell

Years passed by and I left my old hometown

The years passed by well I had to leave this town

I was ready for some action

ready to conquer the world

spread my wings and took off like a bird

Long time forgotten are those dreams we used to dream

The girl next door and well - everything

But I keep thinkin 'bout this life we used to have

when papa sang bass and mama sang tenor

and I just blew my harp

All she left me was alone

All she left me was alone

The girl next door and then some

and the big world got too big

and I return to this old house I've lived in

Long time forgotten are those dreams we used to dream

The girl next door and well - just you and me

And I keep thinkin 'bout this time we used to spend

when we were hidin' in your granny's basement

This old house is all alone

This old house standing all alone

Makes me treasure all those memories

of my childhood and my youth

So I return to this old house all alone

I'm comin' back where my old folks used to live

This old house standing all alone

Oh this old house place where I belong

Memories - my childhood and my youth

Well I'm going home.. I'm comin' home now..

This old house... this old house.. all alone
