MY HOUSE
(Paul Overstreet / Al Gore (m & l) )

As sung by Randy Travis 1987 < Always & Forever >

My house is no mansion
But it still holds my treasures
Things that will never be sold.
There's few things in this world
That just can't be measured
By money, by silver and gold.

And my house is filled with the things that I love
From her smile in the mornin'
To her soft goodnight hugs
Her whisper, her laughter
Everything that she does
My house is filled with the things that I love.

This old bed that we sleep on
Don't have satin covers
But it holds some great memories.
No decorations can make better lovers
In her arms I feel like a king

And my house is filled with the things that I love
From her smile in the mornin'
To her soft goodnight hugs
Her whisper, her laughter
Everything that she does
And my house is filled with the things that l love...

Yes, my house is filled with the things that I love.
