(Shutters and boards cover the windows)
(Of the house where we used to live)
CHORUS
Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive
The house that we built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I live in a world without sunshine
Oh, how I wish you were here
CHORUS
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
To take an old book from the shelf
If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards
'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself
CHORUS
SPOKEN: One more time!
CHORUS
Shutters and boards
(Shutters and boards cover the windows)
(Of the house where we used to live)
CHORUS
Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive
The house that we built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I live in a world without sunshine
Oh, how I wish you were here
CHORUS
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
To take an old book from the shelf
If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards
'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself
CHORUS
SPOKEN: One more time!
CHORUS
Shutters and boards
(Shutters and boards cover the windows)
(Of the house where we used to live)
CHORUS
Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive
The house that we built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I live in a world without sunshine
Oh, how I wish you were here
CHORUS
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
To take an old book from the shelf
If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards
