They both Gone Home

(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

(Bridge)

Then Mama went early, leaving us behind

But Daddy stayed faithful, so devoted and kind

He kept every promise, like a first love that stays

Raising us up through the rest of his days

Until the Lord called him to join her above

Reunited at last in the ultimate love

(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)

They both gone home...

Watching us still, from the heavens above

Surrounding us always with unconditional love

Yeah, they both gone home...

Together in peace, gone home.
