The House On Sumner Street Lyrics by Zager and Evans

Food For The Mind

0

I'm standing here on this house on Sumner Street
By the one way that runs kinda east
Well, I remember this house on Sumner Street
I will and tell the day my deathbed comforts me
I remember holding you between these walls
The love I felt still clings like summer clings to fall
And though the first "I love you" is the strongest
I'm standing here at the bottom of the stairs
I touched the railing, I could feel your handprint there
The dying curtains kissed the rusty bedroom screens
They used to dance for us in the morning breeze
Your smile walks with me through flower-papered halls
The warmth of you still clings like summer clings to fall
And though the first "I love you" is the strongest
Never to show itself again
So here I am alone in this house on Sumner Street
Wishing I could feel with someone new the way I did with you
I'm like a child finding Santa Claus was yesterday
Tomorrow seems a little less, I wish it weren't that way
So, house on Sumner Street I love you
I hate to see the words I see tattered to your door
Tomorrow you will be coming down
So the one way can run by the South
I remember you, house on Sumner street
Between your silent walls, She gave herself to me
I remember you, house on Sumner street
And the first "I love you" for me
