This old house once filled with joy.
|
With its beauty so entrancing,
|
Every little girl and boy.
|
Now its halls are filled with darkness.
|
Its rooms are dusty, cold.
|
This old house is growing so old.
|
|
Take a walk into the ballroom,
|
Now it hardly looks the same.
|
Now its chandelier is shattered,
|
Only stillness here remains.
|
Long ago there was the laughter
|
Through the stories that were told.
|
This old house has grown so old.
|
|
Carefull of the stairs,
|
Don't sit on the broken chair.
|
Peole passing by
|
Used to pause out in the square.
|
Now they go on by,
|
No one even stops to stare.
|
It's so all alone,
|
No one cares.
|
|
They'll tear down this house come morning,
|
Build a new one in its place.
|
Put an end to all its glory,
|
Put an end to all its grace.
|
And the sun will set when evening comes,
|
Stars will fill the sky -
|
And stars will fill the sky.
|
