Lyrics

We’d wait for Dad by the front door.
Mom would have our dinner for us.
Afterwards we’d watch TV till they
Put us to bed, and tucked us in to sleep.

Nothing lasts forever
But even when it’s gone
You still have memories
Of that old family home
You might see an old room
I see a memory
A memory
Of that old family home

Remember when Pat brought home a cat
We had to hide it from our Dad
And when that cat was all grown up
It was almost as if, she took care of us

Nothing lasts forever
But even when it’s gone
You still have memories
Of that old family home
You might see an empty room
I see a memory
A memory
Of that old family home

Dad could make things out of wood
He’d show us, the little things he could
He made a house for our dog spot
It was sad, how that ended up

There were good times
There were bad times too
There were lessons learned
Take them with you
It’s time to close that old front door
We aint comin’ back no more
Say goodbye, to that old family home

I found a dusty Valentine
The only thing, that was left behind
And I could feel him standing there
Saying, “don’t forget this”
And “Son, take care”.

Nothing lasts forever
But even when it’s gone
You still have memories
Of that old family home
You might see an old room
I see a memory
A memory
Of that old family home

Nothing lasts forever
But even when it’s gone
You still have memories
Of that old family home
You might see an empty room
I see a memory
A memory
Of that old family home
