Carl Smith - House That Love Built lyrics

rate me

This is the boy that live in a house that love built

These are the arms that held the charms of the sweetest girl in town

These are the hands that made the plans for a house that love built

And this is the heart that got broke when the house got tumblin' down

The roof was made of moonlight with kisses warm and sweet

And all the beams were made of dreams that I laid at your feet

So walls are made of sunshine the sunshine of your smile

And all the bliss of that first kiss was mine for just a while

[ steel ]

This is the boy who destroyed the house that love built

My empty arms have lost the charms of the sweetest girl in town

These are the hands that made the plans for a house that love built

And this is the heart that got broke when the house got tumblin' down

The roof was made of moonlight with kisses warm and sweet

And all the beams were made of dreams that I laid at your feet

If you'll start all over and say that you're still mine

I'll build from love that's strong enough to stand the test of time
