That Haunted Old House Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

I've thought of you every day since June of '55 

That picture you gave me has helped me survive 

I've passed by your house a million times outside of town 

My mind let my heart stop and take a look around 

It's pretty run down and there's ivy everywhere 

No scent of your momma's flowers in the air 

With no yellow paint the front porch looks plain and sad 

That old swing made me smile bout the times that we had 

I can't remember if it was your fault or mine 

And you can't trust a memory when it's had too much time 

I'm haunted by things like your smile and my pride 

Like that haunted old house I'm empty inside 

[ steel ] 

Although it was quiet I swear I could hear 

The record I bought you by the Platters that year 

I walked up the front steps but stopped at the door 

There's nothing for me in there anymore 

[ piano ] 

I wiped a tear from your cheek the last time I saw you 

And I've held it in my hand because well I just wanted to 

But I lost it today in that lonesome old place 

That tear I was saving wound up on my face 

I can't remember if it was your fault or mine... 

Like that empty old house I'm haunted inside
