Little Houses Lyrics - Doug Stone

A little white house, in the heart of town 

On a little sad street, just a little run down 

Became a home, for Bill and Sue 

Two newlyweds, who did the best that they could do 

And when they brush each other, passin' in the hall 

Sue would smile and say, "This place is pretty small" 

"But you know, love grows best in little houses 

With fewer walls to separate 

Where you eat and sleep so close together 

You can't help but communicate 

Oh, and if we had more room between us, think of all we'd miss 

Love grows best, in houses just like this" 

Before too long, Sue and Bill 

Were makin' plans, for Jack and Jill 

Oh, happy day, when the news came in 

But what to do, when they found out Sue was having twins 

When they could not pass each other in the hall 

Well, Sue would smile and say, "This place is really, really small" 

"But you know, love grows best in little houses 

With fewer walls to separate 

Where you eat and sleep so close together 

You can't help but communicate 

Oh, and if we had more room between us, think of all we'd miss 

Love grows best, in houses just like this" 

That little white frame house still keeps them warm 

Though it's been thirty-two years, since the kids were born 

And when they look back now, they hold each other tight 

And whisper in each other's ears, "You know you were right" 

"Because love grows best in little houses 

With fewer walls to separate 

Where you eat and sleep so close together 

You can't help but communicate 

Oh, and if we had more room between us, think of all we'd miss 

Love grows best, in houses just like this 

Yeah, love grows best, in houses just like this"
