[Verse 1]
When I was just a little kid
You became my very best friend
Soon as I had done my chores
I'd beat a path from our house to yours
[Verse 2]
One Christmas we both asked for bikes
One in red, one in blue and white
I'll never forget that magic morn
My first ride from our house to yours
[Chorus]
From our house to yours
Twenty-one mailboxes, twenty-one doors
For ten years or more
It was back and forth from our house to yours
[Verse 3]
One summer we both had a crush
On a boy who lived down the road from us
He liked me but he liked you more
I watched him go from our house to yours
[Verse 4]
I remember the day you turned thirteen
Thought you had grown too old for me
But I taught you makeup, you taught me boys
We burned up the phone lines from our house to yours
[Chorus]
From our house to yours
Seven numbers, twenty-one doors
For ten years or more
I knew the way from our house to yours
[Verse 5]
I'll never forget that awful day
When the moving van took you away
I cried 'til my eyes were red and sore
Five hundred miles from our house to yours
[Verse 6]
It had been a while since you crossed my mind
Then a card in the mailbox at Christmas time
With an evergreen wreath on a red front door
Saying "lots of love from our house to yours"
[Chorus]
From our house to yours
Too many years, too many doors
But for ten years or more
I knew the way from our house to yours
