My House

[Intro] [Musical Interlude] [Verse] A roof above my head, four walls and a floor Doors and windows, furnishings, but I need so much more A house without someone to share Seems so desolate and bare [Chorus] This house is not a home to me; it’s just where I live Too many sad memories to forget or forgive Like the chilling vacuum of deep outer space There’s no warmth inside, it’s not my home it’s just my place [Musical Interlude] [Verse] Dinner table, couch and chairs; big bed made for two Seems so sad to be alone, as if missing you Your ghost haunts every room No lamp can cut through the gloom [Chorus] This house is not a home to me; it’s just where I live Too many sad memories to forget or forgive Like the chilling vacuum of deep outer space There’s no warmth inside, it’s not my home it’s just my place [Musical Interlude] [Musical Interlude] [Musical Interlude] [Verse] Closet half-filled with clothes, empty hangers swing Brushed by a remembered hand, that once wore my ring Curtains closed against the light Hide me from the world’s sight [Chorus] This house is not a home to me; it’s just where I live Too many sad memories to forget or forgive Like the chilling vacuum of deep outer space There’s no warmth inside, it’s not my home it’s just my place [Musical Interlude] [Outro] This house is not a home, but it’s where I choose to stay Locked inside my memories, I live from day to day One day I’ll open the door, let someone new inside Or walk out on the porch and see the view from the outside [End] [End]
