When you meet somebody and you win them for your own, <br /> And the courting is over and you say I do. <br /> You can take all your money and build yourself a house, <br /> or take all your love and build yourself <br /> a home. <br /> When the honeymoon is over you better love each other all you can, <br /> 'Cause if the loving is ever over you will be without a home. <br /> You may have lots of money and can buy what you want, <br /> But it only takes love to buy yourself, <br /> a home. <br /> So when the courting is over and the honeymoon too, <br /> You need to think over what you need to do. <br /> You can build yourself a house with lumber and stone, <br /> And take all your love and make your house into, <br /> a home. <br /> When the years go by about twenty or so, <br /> Your house is still a home, not just lumber and stone. <br /> So if you love somebody you might think about this, <br /> You can keep your house with your money, <br /> Lumber and stone, but you have to give your love if you want to <br /> keep your home. <br /> So if you love somebody you better keep them if you can, <br /> 'Cause if the loving is ever over, you have to find <br /> a new home.<br /><br />Homer Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lumber-and-stone-don-t-make-a-home/
