The House We Built Together. John Vehon, 1991

When we first got married
We were so poor we could hardly
Keep our heads above the water
But we kept on keeping on

For many years we saved our money
Dreaming of the day my honey
When we could build a house
A place to call our very own

I can't live in the house we built together
It's filled with all the dreams we used to share
I have slid into a hole that goes forever
I can't live in the house we built together

Starting with our own plans
We built the whole thing with our own hands
When the final nail was hammered
We kneeled down for a prayer

I plowed the ground for your flower gardens
Then you planted the seeds my darling
Now they're all grown up
Their colors are spread out everywhere

I can't live in the house we built together
It's filled with all the dreams we used to share
I have slid into a hole that goes forever
I can't live in the house we built together

Moving day was almost here
It was the springtime of the year
At first it was just a little thing
But now it laid you down

Before our home could ever be
You were taken away my baby
They say you're in heaven
But that's no consolation now

I can't live in the house we built together
There's nothing for me there now
It belongs to yesterday
I have slid into a hole that goes forever
I can't live in the house we built together
Darling I can't live
In the house we built together
