Dolly Parton

The House Where Love Lives

Song Information
By: Leona Reese
Original Appearance: Always, Always
Compilations: None
Alternate Versions: None

A squeaky gate, a welcome mat
A big shaggy dog that lives out back
And some might even call it a shack
But this is a house where love lives

The paint is pealin' off of the sills
The mailbox is full of bills
And it's no mansion on the hill
But this is a house where love lives

There's a little boy who looks just like you
With freckles on his nose and eyes of blue
A little girl almost two
And everybody says she looks just like you

Chorus:

So thank you dear for loving me
Though I know rich, we'll never be
But that doesn't matter to you and me
Cause we live in a house where love lives

Repeat Chorus
