It's a country song...
Here are the lyrics:
I know they say you can’t go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma’am I know you don’t know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
I bet you didn’t know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama’s dream
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
Made me a little bit homesick for the house I grew up in...and made me miss my daddy. I don't know if that is normal...missing someone so much after it's been about 3 1/2 years now. But sometimes it just sneaks up on me.
I added this song to my Playlist (it's the last on the list, so you have to scroll through the other songs to find it...or you can google it of course...)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's very normal... ;o( Love the song - just reading the words touched my heart. A house the love built - is what came to mind...
ReplyDeleteLove you ~ allie
I feel like I have heard this song - even though I NEVER hear the radio anymore. I feel that way... I want someone to let me in my childhood home. And I think you will miss your daddy forever... it fits because you will love him forever.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a beautiful song... I'm adding it to my iTunes. My brother will have been gone 19 years in September... I have lived longer with him gone than I dis with him here, but it still sneaks on me sometimes. We were soo close!!! Sometimes I feel like I can go cry on his shoulder, and then it hits me that I can't. It's a good ache though, because it comes from a great loving relationship! Miss you much - Trisha
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me tear up. What a sweet song. I think part of you will always miss him...he's part of you. Plus, it sounds like y'all had a good relationship. Just be grateful that you had a great dad. Other's aren't so lucky. :( (not me, I have a great dad)
