I poured the concrete, cut the 2x4's Planted that oak tree and stained that front door I hung your porch swing, painted that picket fence Yeah, I built the whole thing nail by nail and brick by brick Aw but, girl, what you did Was put the singin' in the kitchen, the dancin' down the hallway The livin' in the living room and the savin' me on Sunday You put the tangle in the sheets and the perfume on my pillow Without you, it's just a pile of sticks and stones I built a house, you made a home You picked every color and bought all the antiques Hung the pictures up of all our favorite memories You watered those roses out in the front yard Left the "I love you" on the mirror in a lipstick heart Girl, I love everything you are 'Cause you're still the singin' in the kitchen, the dancin' down the hallway The livin' in the living room and the savin' me on Sunday You put the tangle in the sheets and the perfume on my pillow Without you, it's just a pile of sticks and stones I built a house and you made a home You put the tangle in the sheets and the perfume on my pillow Without you, it's just a pile of sticks and stones I built a house and you made a home
