House Of Love

Words and Music by

Philip Cody and Ted Perlman

I wake up aching for 

Your tender touches in the night

A reassuring smile 

That fills the world with light

But in this lonely place 

I find no comfort anywhere

Only the echoes of 

Your footsteps on the stair

And I keep thinking about you

And I keep hurting for you

And I'll learn to live without you

This used to be a house of love

We had a life here

This used to be a place

Where you and me could always be

Throughout these chilly rooms 

I struggle with the memory

Of all that might have been 

And all that used to be

There is a part of us 

In every nail and every board

Sentimental luxuries  

I know I can't afford

But I keep thinking about you

And I keep hurting for you

And I'll learn to live without you

This used to be a house of love

We had a life here

This used to be a place

Where you and me could always

Fall apart and come together

And give each other the strength

To weather the stormy seas

That raged around you and me

This used to be a house of love

We had a life here

This used to be a place

Where you and me could always be

This used to be a house of love

We had a life here

This used to be a house of love
