This House Still Holds Your Heart

Lyrics

Verse 1 Every room still tells a different story Echoes of the laughter linger on Busy mornings turned into sweet memories Somehow all those years have come and gone There were little hands reaching up to hold you Dreams that slowly grew a little more each day Every sacrifice, every sleepless moment Helped create the lives they live today Pre-Chorus Now the silence sounds a little different Every room remembers yesterday But every moment that you poured into their future Brought them to this beautiful place Chorus This house is quiet now But your love is loud It's living in the women that you raised somehow Two daughters standing tall Happy lives and giving all Working hard and making you so proud You're not losing anything You're seeing dreams come true Every strength they carry now Was first learned from you The halls may feel a little different than before But your love still fills this home forevermore Verse 2 Sixty-eight and standing at a doorway Looking toward a life you've never known For the first time ever it's just your footsteps Learning how to make this house your own Morning coffee with the rising sunshine Taking time without a single plan Finding little pieces of yourself now and again Rediscovering the woman that you are Pre-Chorus There are places waiting to embrace you Books to read and roads you've never seen Sometimes life gives us a brand-new beginning Right where we thought the story had been written Bridge And when the quiet feels a little heavy Or memories come knocking at your door Remember every hug and every bedtime story Lives forever in the hearts you formed Your girls are smiling as they build their futures Confident because of what you gave Every kindness, every lesson, every prayer you whispered Still shines inside them every day Final Chorus This house is quiet now But your story isn't through There's another chapter waiting just for you You've got mornings full of promise And evenings full of peace The years you spent loving everyone else Now give your own heart room to breathe So open every window Let tomorrow wander in The woman in the mirror still has dreams that can begin Because love isn't measured By who's still living at home It's measured by the lives you've helped to shape And the strength you've always shown Outro You've given so much love Now let some find its way to you The house is a little quieter... But your life is just beginning too.
