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
