House Of A Thousand Dreams

He says, I'm just a man

I walk with my hand

But lately no work has been around

I wish that I could put more on the table

Provide a life I'm sure my family dreams about

But there's crack in all the walls and all the window

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

And she says, my husband's a good man

Gives all that he can

And I know he thinks he's let me down

I just want him and the children to be happy

It's not always easy but it's all I dream about

So I'll find some yard silk curtains for the window

I'll sew some yellow trim along the seam

I keep praying hope will go on living

In this house of a thousand dreams

Their boy says, my Daddy's a strong man

My mama she loves him

And they love my brother and sister and me

Sometimes at night we lay out in the backyard

And take turns wishing on the first star we see

And the cricket always see outside the window

And I love to feel the windblow through the screen

I should hope that we can live forever

In this house of a thousand dreams

I should hope that we can live forever

In this house of a thousand dreams

The kids are always singing

The kids are always singing a song (singing, singing)
