Man and Woman - Rosemary Clooney

This ole house once knew his children

This ole house once knew his wife

This ole house was home and comfort

As they fought the storms of life

This ole house once rang with laughter

This ole house heard many shouts

Now he trembles in the darkness

When the lightnin' walks about

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer

Ain't a-gonna need this house no more

Ain't got the time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the window pane

Ain't a gonna need this house no longer

He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is a-gettin' shaky

This ole house is a-gettin' old

This ole house lets in the rain

This ole house lets in the cold

Oh, his knees are a-gettin' chilly

But he feel no fear of pain

'Cause he sees an angel peekin'

Through a broken window pane

This ole house is afraid of thunder

This ole house is afraid of storms

This ole house just groans and trembles

When the night wind flings its arms

When the night is a-gettin' feeble

This old house is a-needin' paint

Just like him it's tuckered out

But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

I must find the one

The one who kissed me last night
