"Sorrow's Tearing Down The House" lyrics

Porter Wagoner & Skeeter Davis Lyrics

"Sorrow's Tearing Down The House"

I met you and we married, we planned our future well
Built our home on happiness then suddenly it fell
It wasn't long there after our love began to tilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built

First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end
Then came the heartaches brought by so-called friends
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built

First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end
Then came the heartaches brought by so-called friends
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built
