The House with Green Shutters

Through and through
The woods we drive
Past rows and rows of seed

To my left
And to my right
A drop of rain they need

"How much longer?"
Let's start to count
1, 2, 3

Upon arrival
My heart will beat
For it's waiting there for me

The house with green shutters sits
Sits, sits, sits
The house with green shutters sits
Waiting patiently

Set the plates
Pour the drinks
Spread the napkins about

"Potatoes here!"
"A turkey there!"
The little children shout

"Let's quiet down"
My grandpa says
Now let us give our thanks

And say a prayer
For all are here
And He deserves our praise

For on this day
We celebrate
All that God has made

At grandma's house
Where love is lit
A light that shall not fade

When we depart
A tear is shed
A hug to hold us near

For soon enough
We'll meet again
"Soon we shall, my dear"

And how I long
To see it now
Waiting there for me

The house with green shutters sits
Sits, sits, sits
The house with green shutters sits
Waiting patiently
