If These Walls Could Speak lyrics

If these old walls

If these old walls could speak

What a tale it had to tell

Hard headed people raising hell

A couple in love living week to week

Rooms full of laughter

If these old walls could speak

If these old halls

If hallowed halls could talk

These would have a tale to tell

The sun going down and dinner bell

And children playing at hide and seek

From floor to rafter

If these old halls could speak

They would tell you that I'm sorry

For being cold and blind and weak

They would tell you that it's only

That I have a stubborn streak

If these old walls could speak

If these old fashioned

Window panes had eyes

I guess they would've seen it all

Each little tear and sigh and footfall

And every dream that we came to seek

Or followed after

If these old walls could speak

They would tell you that I owe you

More than I can ever pay

Here's someone who really loves you

Don't ever go away

Is what these walls would say

If they were not so mean

If these old walls could speak
