This Will Be Our Home

John Lucas


Tom: Eb

Eb
Close your eyes, my darling
Cm
And let me sweep you off your feet
                       Ab
There's a home in the meadow
           Bb                 Eb
And it's a home you ought to meet


[Verse 2]

Eb
This will be our threshold
Cm
To our home of joy and peace
Ab
This will be the place
           Bb            Eb
Where our sorrows are released


[Verse 3]

Eb
I know the walls are for now a little empty
Cm
But you've the eye of an artist
Ab
So let's paint the walls with laughter
      Bb              Eb
Until not a spot is missed


[Verse 4]

Eb
Entwine your treasures on the shelves with mine
Cm
And hang your dresses by the mirror
Ab                   Bb
I've never heard my heart sing
                              Eb
The way it is now that you're here
Cm       Bb                      Eb
This, oh this, this will be our home


[Verse 5]

Eb
For tonight let's leave the dishes in the sink
Cm
And our shoes by the bottom stair
Ab                    Bb
For dancin' in the kitchen's better
                    Eb
When your feet are bare


[Verse 6]

Eb
And one day we'll own a piano
Cm
And a fireplace where all the music will go
                  Ab
Up through the chimney
Bb                         Eb
Oh we'll play for all the stars
Cm        Bb                     Eb
This, oh this, this will be our home


[Verse 7]

Eb
And one day we'll add a room or two
Cm
For little feet to come pattering through
        Ab         Bb                        Eb
But for now, this home will just hold me and you


[Verse 8]

Eb
And our home may soon change places
Cm
As we bound mountains

And walk on oceans without fear
        Ab        Bb            Eb
But for now our adventure lies here
        Ab        Bb            Eb
Oh for now, our adventure lies here


[Ending]

Ab        Bb                     Cm
This, oh this, this will be our home
Ab        Bb                Eb
This, oh this, this is our home
