Campbell, Glen - If These Walls Could Speak Lyrics






If these old walls, if these old walls could speak
What a tale they'd have to tell, hard headed people raisin' hell
A couple in love livin' week to week
Rooms full of laughter, if these old walls could speak

If these old hallowed halls, if hallowed halls could talk
These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells
And children playin' at hide and seek
From floor to rafters, if these old walls could speak

They would tell you that I'm sorry bein', cold and blind and weak
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak
If these old walls could speak

If these old fashion window panes had eyes
I guess they would have seen it all, each little tear and silence step fall
And every dream that we came to seek
And further after, if these old walls could speak

They would tell you that I owe you, more that I could ever pay
Here's someone who really loves you, don't ever go away
That's what these walls would say

Campbell, Glen If These Walls Could Speak Comments
  1. E.... H....

    Originally I found this searching for Jimmy Webb (Ricky Gervais praised him and I was curious) . I did not know Glen Campbell at all. Now I cannot get enough of Glen :) Better late than never!!

  2. A.... M....

    Do you know when this was filmed?

    A.... M....

    What I could find December 9, 1988

  3. N.... D....

    Such a great shot of love, when Glen sings "don't ever go away" and seems to be gazing intently at Jimmy in the bonds of friendship. Very poignant in a good way.

  4. C.... T....

    Amy Grant s its better.

  5. D.... ....

    this is a great Glen Campbell song written by the incomparable Jimmy Webb... such musicians.. magic....RIP Glen

  6. V.... ....

  11. M.... M....

    Shawn Colvin has a nice cover on her album "Cover Girl"

  12. E.... S....

    Jimmy was right -- the song was better for Waylon.

    E.... S....

    Bollocks.send me a link to Jennings version....

    E.... S....

    Possibly so, but I just love nearly everything that Glenn did, he was just an extraordinary musician.

  13. C.... W....

    Dynamic Duo

  14. T.... L....

    I love Glenn Campbell's rendition of this song! We grew up listening to him because my mother played his music all the time. Like Glenn Campbell my mother passed away from Alzheimer's

    T.... L....

    Toria Live4Christ Bless your heart, Toria

    T.... L....

    Love this. It's a bit faster that Webb's version but still as beautiful :)

  16. L.... R....

    Beautiful such talent having fun and it flows perfect the voice piano and guitar all work so well

  17. S.... ....

    I've never heard this song before. It is so beautiful!!

  18. n.... ....

  19. V.... F....

    Beautiful, miss yr wonderful music Glen x

  20. S.... ....

    Nancy Griffith also has a wonderful version.

    S.... ....

    Absolutely and also "When I Dream"

    S.... ....

    And what a wonderful job she does with it. Better than this, to me.

    S.... ....

    So does Amy Grant. Such a beautiful song!

  21. l.... w....

    Two of the most excellent musicians doing a wonderful version of such a beautiful song. Speaks to so many emotions. You see, humans can create beautiful art, with absolutely no help from a deity. And, see, Mr. o: we don't have to hate other people to make america "great again".

  22. R.... P....

    Love this version.

  23. H.... H....

    Tabloids love to exaggerate to the extreme. Glen can still speak.

  24. M.... S....

    When did Glen loose his ability to speak. Or when he got bad with that awful Alzeimers. glen is good. I can understand his words which I like.

    M.... S....

    I think around 2014, is when he stopped speaking. reports are different, but he either become ill in 2000, or 2002.

  25. T.... T....

    I'm surprised how much I like this version. I'd only heard Jimmy's which is fabulous, but this is darn good. Great job, Glen

  26. K.... r....

    What a beautiful song ...Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell yes
