House of a Thousand Dreams

House of a Thousand Dreams - Boogie Boots

He says

I'm just a man

I work with my hands

But lately no work

Has been around

I wish that I

Could put more on the table

Provide the life I'm sure my

Family dreams about

But there's cracks

In all the walls and all the windows

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

But 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 sale curtains

For the windows

And I'll sew some yellow trim

Along the seams

And I'll keep praying hope

Will go on living

In this house

Of a thousand dreams

The boy says

My daddy's a strong man

And 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 crickets always sing

Outside the windows

And I love to feel the wind blow

Through the screen

And I sure hope

That we can live forever

In this house

Of a thousand dreams

Yeah I sure hope

That we can live forever

In this house

Of a thousand dreams
