Looking into a house once bright
Its doors are closed no signs of life
But once it rang with laughter loud
A home so full a bustling crowd
Grandpa smiled in his old chair
Grandma worked with loving care
Time moves on it takes away
But memories linger they always stay
The stories live though lives are gone
The echoes of a home live on
Mother swept as children played
Through bonds of love the family stayed
But fleeting roles they come they go
The world keeps changing this we know
Whatever role you hold today
Give your heart don't drift away
Dust to dust we all will fade
But love remains the mark we've made
Good or bad it's all we've done
The echoes speak when we are gone
Time moves on it takes away
But memories linger they always stay
The stories live though lives are gone
The echoes of a home live on
Looking into a house once bright
Its love remains beyond the night
