WYNN STEWART - IF HOUSES HAD HEARTS lyrics

IF HOUSES HAD HEARTS

Writers Charlie Williams and Joe Nixon)

Copyright 1970

If houses had hearts and feelings like people do

Our house would cry its heart out for me and you

Papers and milk bottles left by the door

The lovers who lived there don't love anymore

And with no one to care all the flowers have died

If houses had feelings (if houses had feelings) our house would cry

If houses could hurt and remember like people do

Our house would hurt remembering me and you

Cobwebs in the corners and dust on the floor

Laughter don't ring through its halls anymore

And the fireplace is cold where the flames have all died

If houses had feelings (if houses had feelings) our house would cry

There's plenty of room for the children to play

And shade trees will grow in the backyard someday

It's a place to be happy if two people try

If houses had feelings (if houses had feelings) then our house would cry
