Our House
 
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
 
 
I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase that you bought today
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me
Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you
Our house is a very, very, very fine house with two cats in the yard

And our la, la, la, la, la,…

    Love this song, thanks for reminding me of it. I had that vinyl album, Déjà Vu, as a teen, oh yes I did. Another wonderful song on the album is Woodstock, and the Matthews Southern Comfort version is great too:

    Wanted to go to Woodstock but was just a few years too young…the world could use another counterculture movement these days. 😉

    Happened to catch a bit of a tv show where a lady was singing this song. It’s been on repeat in my brain since then.
    Love and prayers to you, Marty and all.

    Wonderful song. I wanted to say that I loved your memories of lent in your grandparents’ house. I hope you’re imagining that wave of prayer coming over you and Marty and all who love him now, too.

    This is a very special song to my husband & I and one of the songs that brought us together. We’ve been together now 45 yrs and still get emotional when we hear this beautiful song. Thank you so much for posting along with the lovely painting. My best to you and your family. Take care……❤️
