Story Behind The Song

Imagine and elderly couple tidying up their home. They reflect back on the times when they acquired each piece of furniture, appliances, artwork. They remember shopping, the times spent with their family, the family growing up. As they look in each others eyes, the whole family starts arriving to share in creating new memories.

Lyrics

Things That Make It Home
(Words and music by J Kessler)

It's the things that make it home
Those things that make it truly your own
The things that make it home
Every time you come back, every time you come back home

If you close your eyes,
You can almost hear the laghter and the smiles
The smell of dinner
The times of life, the welcomes and good byes

It's the things that make it home
Those things that make it truly your own
The things that make it home
Every time you come back, every time you come back home

And when the years go by
How memories appear before your eyes!
The things that fill your home
Are the things in life that truly make you wise

And it's the things that make it home
Those things that make it truly your own
The things that make it home
Every time you come back, every time you come back home

Value and values
Walk hand in hand
And friendly faces
Always seem to understand

That it's the things that make it home
Those things that make it truly your own
The things that make it home
Every time you come back, every time you come back home
