House Of A Thousand Dreams Lyrics - Waking Up Laughing - Martina Mcbride

He says, I'm just a man 

I work with my hands 

But lately no work has been around 

I wish that I could put more on the table 

Provide the life I'm sure my family dreams about 

But there's cracks in all the walls and all the windows 

And the flies, they find their way in through the screens 

I just pray that hope will go on living 

In this house of a thousand dreams 

She says, My husband's a good man 

Gives all that he can 

But I know he thinks he's let me down 

I just want him and the children to be happy 

It's not always easy but it's all I dream about 

So I'll find some yard sale curtains for the windows 

And I'll sew some yellow trim along the seams 

And I'll keep praying, hope will go on living 

In this house of a thousand dreams 

The boy says, My daddy's a strong man 

My momma, she loves him 

And they love my brother and sister and me 

Sometimes at night we lay out in the backyard 

And take turns wishing on the first star we see 

And the crickets always sing outside the windows 

And I love to feel the wind blow through the screens 

And I sure hope that we can live forever 

In this house of a thousand dreams 

Yeah, I sure hope that we can live forever 

In this house of a thousand dreams
