A BEAUTIFUL HOME

VERSE 1: OUR LITTLE COTTAGE ISN'T HERE ANYMORE
JUST AN OLD CRUMBLING CHIMNEY AND A FRAME OF A DOOR
BUT SWEET PRECIOUS MEMORIES OH, THEY'RE STILL STANDING STRONG
IN A VISION OF CHILDHOOD AND A BEAUTIFUL HOME

VERSE 2: THERE'S THE OLD CHOP BLOCK WHERE WE CUT OUR WOOD
THERE'S THE OLD WELL HOUSE AND STILL THE WATER TASTES GOOD
AT THE TOP OF THE HILLSIDE THERE'S TWO CROSSES OF STONE
AND THEY ARE THE REASON I SEE A BEAUTIFUL HOME

CHORUS: A BEAUTIFUL HOME (IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOME)
A BEAUTIFUL HOME (BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL HOME)
WHERE I FIND PEACE OF MIND WHERE IT'S BEEN ALL ALONG
WHERE MY HEART IS AT EASE, WHERE MY SOUL FEELS COMPLETE
EVERYONE'S GONE BUT THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOME

VERSE 3: THERE UNDER THE SHADE TREE WHERE MAMA SHELLED BEANS
WHERE DADDY TOLD STORIES AND WE WOVE OUR DREAMS
WE WERE THEIR FUTURE AND NOW THEY ARE GONE
BUT THE LOVE STILL LIVES ON IN A BEAUTIFUL HOME

REPEAT CHORUS
