Little Houses - Doug Stone

A little white house

In the heart of town

On a little sad street

Just a little run down

Became a home

For Bill and Sue

Two newlyweds

Who did the best that they could do

And when they brush each other

Passin＇ in the hall

Sue would smile and say:

But you know love grows best in little houses

With fewer walls to separate

Where you eat and sleep so close together

You can＇t help but communicate

Oh and if we had more room between us

Think of all we＇d miss

Love grows best in houses just like this

Before too long Sue and Bill

Were makin＇ plans

For Jack and Jill

Oh happy day

When the news came in

But what to do

When they found out Sue was having twins

When they could not pass each other in the hall

Well Sue would smile and say:

＂This place is really really small

But you know love grows best in little houses

With fewer walls to separate

Where you eat and sleep so close together

You can＇t help but communicate

Oh and if we had more room between us

Think of all we＇d miss

Love grows best in houses just like this

That little white frame house still keeps them warm

Though it＇s been thirty-two years

Since the kids were born

And when they look back now

They hold each other tight

And whisper in each other＇s ears:

＂You know you were right

Because love grows best in little houses

With fewer walls to separate

Where you eat and sleep so close together

You can＇t help but communicate

Oh and if we had more room between us

Think of all we＇d miss

Love grows best in houses just like this

Yeah love grows best in houses just like this
