House Of A Thousand Dreams

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"

 She says, "My husband's a good man
 Gives all that he can
 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
 My momma, 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"
