He says, I'm just a man I walk with my hand But lately no work has been around I wish that I could put more on the table Provide a life I'm sure my family dreams about But there's crack in all the walls and all the window 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 And 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 silk curtains for the window I'll sew some yellow trim along the seam I keep praying hope will go on living In this house of a thousand dreams
Their boy says, my Daddy's a strong man 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 cricket always see outside the window And I love to feel the windblow through the screen I should hope that we can live forever In this house of a thousand dreams I should hope that we can live forever In this house of a thousand dreams
The kids are always singing The kids are always singing a song (singing, singing)
