I never knew this old house could hold such loneliness Cause when you were here it was a life with happiness But when you said goodbye this old house just seemed to die Like the grass on the lawn when winter comes Now there's wall to wall tears and stained floor The shades're drawn cause no one lives here anymore Just a shelf of a man in his misery in this lonely house where love used to be Life means nothing now since you walked out the door The birds that sang up in our trees don't sing here anymore But my hurting soon will past cause I'll just turn on the glass In this lonely house where love used to be in this lonely house where love used to be
