House of A Thousand Dreams

Martina McBride · Waking Up Laughing [2007]

He says "Im just a good man,

I work with my hands

But lately no work had 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 screen

I just pray that hope will go on living

In this house of a thousand dreams"



She says "my husbands a good man

Gives all that he can

I know that he thinks that he's let me down

I just want him an all the children to be happy

It's not always easy, but it's all I

dream about"



"So I'll find some yard-sale curtians for

the windows

And I'll sew soem yellow trim along

the seams

And I'll keep praying hope wil go on living

In this house of a thousand dreams"



The boys says "my daddy's a strong man

My Momma, she loves him

And they love my brother and my 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 screen

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"
