If Houses Had Hearts Lyrics - Wynn Stewart

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
