They Both Gone Home (Remastered)
(Verse 1)
Like a TV show, Eight is Enough
We made it through the times
that were tough
A chorus of voices, the more the merrier
Breaking through every single barrier
Father was working, mom at home
Teaching us how to reap what we've sown
Selling her goods in
the neighborhood street
Making a life that was bitter and sweet
(Chorus)
They both gone home,
to a place in the sky
Where there’s no more tears
no more goodbye
Resting in peace, wrapped
in love so divine
Together with Jesus, forever to shine
We miss them dearly,
but I know they are near
Watching us closely, banishing fear
(Verse 2)
Remember the ancestral house
we called home
Where the cats used
to play and freely roam
We put on the zinc so
the rain wouldn't leak
Found joy in the days
that felt small and meek
A house full of love,
though the pockets were light
All of those helping
hands made it alright
I saw our family change for the better
Standing together through every weather
(Chorus)
They both gone home,
to a place in the sky
Where there’s no more tears,
no more goodbye
Resting in peace,
wrapped in love so divine
Together with Jesus, forever to shine
We miss them dearly,
but I know they are near
Watching us closely, banishing fear
Chorus
They both gone home,
to a place in the sky
Where there’s no more tears,
no more goodbye
Resting in peace,
wrapped in love so divine
Together with Jesus, forever to shine
We miss them dearly,
but I know they are near
Watching us closely, banishing fear
Watching us still,
from the heavens above
Surrounding us always
with unconditional love
(Bridge)
Remember the ancestral house
we called home
Where the cats used
to play and freely roam
Chorus
They both gone home,
to a place in the sky
Where there’s no more tears,
no more goodbye
Resting in peace,
wrapped in love so divine
Together with Jesus, forever to shine
We miss them dearly,
but I know they are near
Watching us closely, banishing fear
(Chorus)
They both gone home,
to a place in the sky
Where there’s no more tears,
no more goodbye
Resting in peace,
wrapped in love so divine
Together with Jesus, forever to shine
We miss them dearly,
but I know they are near
Watching us closely, banishing fear
(Outro)
Yeah, they both gone home...
Together in peace,
They both gone home...
