Lyrics

The brass handle did shine
And the knocker rang with such a clang
And the hinge would swing without a sound
As I picked you up in your beautiful wedding gown
And carried you through that door

We were young having fun
That door was open to everyone
And friends would come and go as they pleased
We’d sit holding hands as that cool summers breeze
Would gently blow through that door

Chorus
That door with all its scratches
Chipped wood and rusty latches
Nail holes and painted patches
It stood strong as long as our love lasted

As our family grew
That door welcomed us through
And protected us from the cold nights lonely winds
I remember when the kids would stand in it’s strong sturdy frame
Waiting for me to come home

Over time it witnessed the pain
As our love got tested and strained
It echoed our yells and trembled as it slammed
But it stopped you as you tried to leave and reminded you of all it’s seen
As you turned and we kissed at that door

Chorus
That door with all its scratches
Chipped wood and rusty latches
Nail holes and painted patches
It stood strong as long as our love lasted
