My family is a house of time.
I've seen it grow, I've seen it shine.
I've seen my children laugh and play,
and watched them grow up through each day.
But now they've grown and gone away
and I sit and ponder yesterday.
Love once abounded between these walls
and many's the night I still recall.
But those days are gone my friend
as my days come to an end.
Yet when I'm dead and laid to rest,
my family's been the very best.
