Stone Foundation (lyrics)
(The Sunflowers)
Words and Music-- M. T. Fontaine
Your grandpa built this house with his own hands
He built this house on stone, not on sand
He'd say, "build her right and build her strong
And she'll still be standin' long after I've gone"
Love is built on a stone foundation
Your grandma tended her garden out in the yard
She knew that flowers won't grow where the soil is hard
So she tended her garden so tenderly
The same way she cared for my brothers and me
Love is built on a stone foundation
Stone, stone, stone
Stone foundation
Someday you may travel from Bangkok to Rome
And you'll know that you have love waiting at home
Love is patient and love is kind
The way that I love you will last for all time
Love is built on a stone foundation
Stone, stone, stone
Stone foundation
Love is built on a stone foundation
