Mimi's House

I remember many times when I was just a child
How I played in that old house out on the farm
With rocking chairs and squeaky stairs, all pieces of her world
And a fire in her room to keep us warm

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark

And now we're not as young as when I played there all the time
And the visits seemed too scarce and far between
But life goes on at Mimi's house and in my mind I'm there
With a fire in her room to keep us warm

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark

And when I stop and think of how she's aging
Growing strong and graceful in her God
Well, you know it takes my fear away from aging
She seems to know the secret that we'll never be apart

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark
Yes, she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark
