I just wrote this one, so...
I hope I can read it from over here.
You know,
around this country there's been an awful lot of hard times,
and a lot of farmers and a lot of people,
working people lost a lot.
Here's a song for those people.
Midnight,
that old clock keeps ticking.
The kids are all asleep,
but I'm walking the floor.
Darling,
I can see that you're dreaming.
I don't want to wake you up
when I close the door.
But this old
house of ours is built on dreams.
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day.
And tomorrow morning,
a man from the bank's gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Lately,
I've been thinking about daddy.
And how he always seemed to make things work.
When the chips were down.
And I know I got something inside me.
There's always a light to guide me.
To what can be found.
But this old house of ours is built on dreams.
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a swing outside they play on every day.
But tomorrow morning,
a man from the bank's gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
I remember how we came here together.
Looking at an empty lot
and holding hands.
Later,
we came back in the moonlight.
And made love where the kitchen is.
Then we made our plan.
But this old house of ours is built on dreams.
And a businessman don't know
what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day.
And tomorrow morning,
a man from the bank's gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
Take it all away.
This old house of
ours is built on dreams.
