Lyrics for Heart of the House
Heart of the House
From Here's A Little Song
(Sarah Majors & Becky Buller, Zaviston Music Group, BMI/Goodnight Sparky Music, BMI)
The curtains stay closed so the dust doesn't show
The linoleum needs fixin'
Nothin's boilin' on the stove; used to be a happy home
But nobody's in the kitchen
Chorus: It's the heart of the house, the heart of the house
It's the heart of the house and it's empty
Ooo
He's a part of the house and he's empty
At night he comes home and turns the light on
But the darkness stays with him
Sets his dinner on the counter; can't put his arms around her
Cuz nobody's in the kitchen
Chorus: It's the heart of the house, the heart of the house
It's the heart of the house and it's empty
Ooo
He's a part of the house and he's empty
Forty years and four sons have all come and gone
And the clock above the back door is tickin'
It don't get lonelier than this; least the cancer took her quick
Left nobody in the kitchen
Chorus: She was the heart of the house, the heart of the house
She was the heart of the house and it's empty
Ooo
He's a part of the house and he's empty
Vocal tag: Ooo (over last two lines of chorus with slow down at end)
