Build Me a House

Build me a house with a view of the sea

So we can sip wine and wade in to our knees

Build me a house up high in the mountains

Where apple trees grow round a bubbling fountain

My house can be wood or my house can be stone

So long as you promise I won’t be alone

Your eyes are my roof and your arms are my walls

And as long as you hold me my house will not fall

Build me a house out of smiles or tears

Build me a house to protect me from fear

Build me a house out of sunshine or rain

Build me a house that will keep out the pain

I don’t need a house filled with music or art

So long as you’ll build me a house in your heart
