Lyrics Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand

Take Care of This House

Here in the shell of a house

This house that is struggling to be

A beacon of light

Shinning all through the night

So bright that the whole world could see

But now there's a chill in the room

Windows are starting to leak

Floorboards are starting to creak

And hope, hope may arrive

The house will survive

If only these walls could speak

Take care of this house, keep it from harm

If bandits break in, sound the alarm

Care for this house, shine it by hand

And keep it so clean, the glow can be seen

All over the land

Be careful at night, check all the doors

If someone makes of with a dream, the dream will be yours

Take care of this house, be always on call

For this house is the hope of us all

Beware of full smiles that lead you astray

When someone is telling you lies, let truth lead the way

Take care of this house, be always on call

Care for this house, it's the hope of us all
