Lyrics
EMPTY NEST
©2009 RON CHASSNER
SHE HEARS FOOTSTEPS IN THE HALLWAY, FIRST THEY'RE WALKIN' THEN THEY'RE RUNNIN'
VOICES TALKIN' 'BOUT BEIN' LATE FOR SCHOOL
SMELLS THE BREAD OUT IN THE TOASTER, BURNIN' AGAIN
AND SHE KNOWS HER DAY IS JUST BEGINNIN'
CHORUS:
SHE'LL WALK INTO HER KITCHEN
SEE HER FAMILY AT THE TABLE
KIDS AND BOOKBAGS LAYIN' EVERYWHERE
RADIO IS BLASTIN'--BUT SHE WON'T REALLY CARE
COS A HOME THAT'S LIVED IN WELL, IS LIVED IN BEST
THIS HOUSE WILL NEVER BE AN EMPTY NEST
BEFORE SHE KNOWS IT THEY'VE ALL GROWN UP, AND THEY'RE OUT THERE ON THEIR OWN
SHE EVEN THINKS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A WEDDING SOON
WITH CHRISTMAS 'ROUND THE CORNER, SHE KNOWS THEY'RE COMIN' HOME
YOU CAN HEAR HER EXCITEMENT TALKIN' TO EM ON THE PHON
CHORUS:
SHE'LL WALK INTO HER KITCHEN
SEE HER FAMILY AT THE TABLE
THEIR SHOPPING BAGS LAYIN' EVERYWHERE
RADIO IS BLASTIN'--BUT SHE WON'T REALLY CARE
COS A HOME THAT'S LIVED IN WELL, IS LIVED IN BEST
THIS HOUSE WILL NEVER BE AN EMPTY NEST
BRIDGE:
SHE HANGS ON TO EVERY MEMORY
KNOWIN' SOMEDAY SHE--
CHORUS:
WILL..WALK INTO HER KITCHEN
SEE HER GRANDKIDS AT THE TABLE
OVERNIGHT BAGS LAYIN' EVERYWHERE
RADIO IS BLASTIN'--BUT SHE WON'T REALLY CARE
COS A HOME THAT'S LIVED IN WELL, IS LIVED IN BEST
THIS HOUSE WILL NEVER BE AN EMPTY NEST
