Last night I went back to the house on the hill Where we were so happy together As I walked through the door mem'ries came at me Like sea shells coming into the shore There were ashes in the fireplace from the fire that I built On the night that you told me goodbye Two glasses on the table brought back the hurt And the mem'ries of tears that I've cried As I walked up the stairs that lead to the room Where we used to share love together Old slippers by the bed a book that you read Still linger to remind me of you Oh that house on the hill where we used to live Where we dreamed such closely together It's so empty and bare only mem'ries live there In the house lonely house on the hill In that house we used to live
