Little Jimmy Dickens – Sorrow's Tearing Down The House lyrics

(Mel Tillis - Kent Westberry)

Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built.

I met you and we married we planned our future well
Built our home on happiness then suddenly it fell
It wasn't long there after our love began to tilt
Now sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built.

First came the weeknd parties that never seemed to end
Then came the heartaches brought by so-called friends
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built.

First came the weeknd parties that never seemed to end
Then came the heartaches brought by so-called friends
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built...
