in this house alone what makes a house a home it's love in the furniture care taken with every painting on the wall and there's a mess on the table where you were sitting before it makes this house a home makes this house a home so while you're splashing in the bath and I'm stirring up the kitchen and then you read them a story and I'm pretending not to listen but it draws me in it draws me in make this house a home you make this house a home in this house alone what makes this house a home It's your footsteps on the stairs It's the struggle for the blanket every morn It's your voices in my ears but It's your hearts that keep me warm
