When Everybody Was Home

Lyrics: Liesl-Mae Yew Shu Wen Music: Liesl-Mae Yew Shu Wen/Brandon Shen the way that he coughs and brushes his teeth the sounds that I can still hear in my sleep asking if I want lunch when I pick up the phone I miss when everybody was home When his room was a hallway away And I could hear him playing his games Yet through those closed doors I wasn’t alone I miss when everybody was home the smell of her food in the air when she asked me to pick out her growing white hairs her ailments for the body, her advice for the soul I miss when everybody was home The morning barks at my door Oh The pitter and patter of paws on the floor It’s moments like these I’ll think of when I’m gone I miss when everybody was home And I know one day when we’re all gone for good I’ll miss when everybody was home
