This Old House

<br>This old house was once for dancing,<br>This old house once filled with joy.<br>With its beauty so entrancing,<br>Every little girl and boy.<br>Now its halls are filled with darkness.<br>Its rooms are dusty, cold.<br>This old house is growing so old.<br><br>Take a walk into the ballroom,<br>Now it hardly looks the same.<br>Now its chandelier is shattered,<br>Only stillness here remains.<br>Long ago there was the laughter<br>Through the stories that were told.<br>This old house has grown so old.<br><br>Carefull of the stairs,<br>Don`t sit on the broken chair.<br>Peole passing by<br>Used to pause out in the square.<br>Now they go on by,<br>No one even stops to stare.<br>It`s so all alone,<br>No one cares.<br><br>They`ll tear down this house come morning,<br>Build a new one in its place.<br>Put an end to all its glory,<br>Put an end to all its grace.<br>And the sun will set when evening comes,<br>Stars will fill the sky - <br>And stars will fill the sky.
