about
A Place to Call Our Home
(Words & Music by John DeLore)
lyrics
Look at this place. Look at the holes in the wall, honey,
If you had to guess...would you guess that we had it all?
We got flour in a jar, an old deck of cards,
We hung a big wreath on the door.
We got money in our dreams and stitches in our seams
And records all over the floor, for
This is a place that we call our home.
Heaven and Earth weren’t made in a couple of days, honey,
And everybody says the same about the city of Rome.
So let’s take our own sweet time,
Just a little bit of yours and a little bit of mine
To make a little place that we can call our home.
Well, this is a place, this is a place that we call our home, honey,
Look at you and me ain’t it funny how much we’ve grown.
There’s a little salt in our pepper it’s true
And we may have lost a step or two, but
Look at this place, honey, look at me and you.
Look at this place. Look at the stains in the rug, honey,
I remember when you used to drink wine from a coffee mug.
You put an old map in a big wooden frame,
You hung it on the bedroom wall.
We went out into the yard with the big yellow stars
And listened to the nightbirds call, well,
This is a place that we call our home.
Well, this is a place, this is a place that we call our home, honey,
Look at you and me ain’t it funny how much we’ve grown.
There’s a little salt in our pepper it’s true
And we may have lost a step or two, but
Look at this place, honey, look at me and you.
