Nanci Griffith - If these walls could speak lyrics

If these old walls

If these old walls could speak

Of things that they remembered well

Parties and people dearly held

A couple in love

Livin' week to week

Rooms full of laughter

If these walls could speak

If these old halls

If hallowed halls could talk

These would have a tale to tell

Of sun goin' down and dinner bell

And children playing at hide and seek

From floor to rafter

If these halls could speak

They would tell you that I'm sorry

For 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 fashioned window panes were eyes

I guess they would have seen it all

Each little tear and sigh and 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

They would tell you that I love you

Don't ever go away

That's what these walls would say

They would tell you that I owe you

More than I could ever pay

Here is someone who really loves you,

Don't ever go away

That's what these walls would say

That's what these walls would say
