Tami Mulcahy: Got Music!

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I live in a one story house
With lots of stories to tell
Mildred and Ben lived in it back when
There were fields of orchards, horse drawn carriages
and water came from a water well

Just before we moved in
I found a chest on the floor
Mom cried when she realized
It had Midlred’s dance card from 1938
And Ben’s purple heart from the World War

Their kids came one day to clear everything out
With the last box on the truck, they looked back at this house and bowed

We painted my room blue
With clouds above my head
I remember when my baby sister
Took her first steps and I got my first bike
And we buried our dog beside the shed

These halls hold history, a treasure of memories
From every face in black and white, to every word of hope and love
From every shingle upon the roof, to every teardrop that fell

I live in a one story house
With lots of stories to tell
