lyrics

We found a new place with a little more space
So we made the down payment and packed up our things
But the real estate sign stayed in the old yard
So we lowered our price and we worked so hard
I watched every show on HGTV
And did what they said to do
We made it over till it looked like new

We scrubbed the windows and the doors
And you replaced the kitchen floor
We left the couches and the beds
Just the way the realtor said
The old place never looked so good
But when we locked the doors and left it late at night
It was empty

One night I painted the walls till there was no trace
Of the lines that we drew when our little girl grew
And I filled in the holes where there used to be nails
Holding up pictures of me and you
And I heard the wind blow as the clock struck one
And chills went down my spine
Even though I'd slept there hundreds of times

We shoveled sidewalks in the snow
We shined the lights so they would glow
Every night at 8:00 p.m.
Till the morning came again
Every room was fresh and clean
But without you it didn't mean a thing to me
It was empty

And sometimes miracles take a long time to come true
But in the hardest of times
At the end of the day
I still have you

Love is right inside the door
And pizza picnics on the floor
Our favorite pictures on the walls
And baby laughing in the hall
Every day's a mess to clean
But there's one thing that my life life will never be
Empty
