Story behind the song
I was walking around my neighborhood and noticed all the houses empty with for sale signs on the lawn. I started wondering who lived there and where they went. What kind of family it was. ALSO the House looked so sad...SO...I wrote this cool song about LOSS and HOPE!
Lyrics
THE VAN PULLED AWAY
MY LIFE CHANGED FOREVER
FIRST TIME I’M ALONE
ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER
IT WAS DEATHLY QUIET
I COULD NOT HEAR A SOUND
JUST FOUR WALLS AND A ROOF
NOBODY AROUND
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO
A FAMILY CAME TO STAY
IT WAS HOWARD AND SUSAN
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY
I REMEMBER THAT DAY
THEY BROUGHT LITTLE JANE HOME
GREAT JOY IN THE HOUSE
THE FAMILY HAD GROWN
I’M JUST AN OLD HOUSE
I HAVE FEELINGS TOO
JUST LOST MY WHOLE FAMILY
ONLY ONE THAT KNEW
I’M JUST AN OLD HOUSE
I SEEM STEADY AND STRONG
BUT I’M JUST LIKE YOU
WANT TO FEEL LIKE I BELONG
NOW I SIT AND WAIT
A FOR SALE SIGN ON THE LAWN
A SMILE ON MY FACE SO SUITORS
WILL BE DRAWN
COME CHECK OUT THIS HOUSE
IT NEEDS A NEW FAMILY
I’M LONELY HERE BY MYSELF
COME IN AND VISIT ME
BUT I KNEW THE DAY WOULD COME
WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE
BUT I KNEW WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY HAPPEN
I WOULD GRIEVE
