It's been so long since we've gathered here Life's taken us far but love draws us nearThe door swings open and time rewinds And every embrace the past unwindsThe room is warm with tales of old Laughter echoes, stories toldFaces change yet hearts remain In this house where joys are gainedWe gather close beneath the stars No matter where we go, how farThis place of ours is always homeWe gather close beneath the stars No matter where we go, how farWherever we may choose to roam We pass the bread with hands so steadyLove and faith are always ready Memories dance in candlelightIn this circle hearts are bright The walls are filled with pictures wornOf laughter, tears and lives adornedGenerations joined in cheer In our hearts we keep them nearAnd though we might drift far away In our hearts here we'll stayTogether bound by ties unseen In the house where love's sereneWe gather close beneath the stars No matter where we go, how farWe gather close beneath the stars No matter where we go, how farWe gather close beneath the stars No matter where we go, how farWe gather close beneath the stars No matter where we go, how farThis place of ours is always home Wherever we may choose to roamWe pass the bread with hands so steady Love and faith are always readyIn this house where joys are gained We gather close beneath the starsIn this place where joys are gained Memories dance in candlelightIn the circle hearts are bright The walls are filled with pictures wornThe walls are filled with pictures worn Of laughter, tears, and lives adornedGenerations joined in cheer In our hearts we keep them nearAnd though we might drift far away In our hearts here we'll stayTogether bound by ties unseen In the house where love's serene
