lyrics
Treehouse, treehouse…
I met her at the church on a Sunday morn’
And ever since that day it’s like I’ve been reborn
She was kneeling there praying in the pew
And when I took her hand that’s when my heart it knew
That somewhere in the sky waiting high above was this little treehouse baby full of love
Treehouse, treehouse…
There’s butterflies swirling ‘round the flowerbed
There’s butterflies baby landing on your head
I’ve got a black crow chasing me now all day long
And he’s making real sure that I hear his song
That somewhere in the sky shining high above
is this little treehouse baby full of love
Treehouse, treehouse…
Me and my love… walking in the park
Me and my love… kissing in the dark
Me and my love… oh, let me take you there
Me and my love… a place I’d like to share
That’s waiting in the sky honey high above
it’s this little treehouse baby full of love
Let’s go kissing in the dark
Let’s go kissing in the park
Kiss me kiss me near or far
Kiss me baby in the car
We’re somewhere real high now in the sky above
In our little treehouse baby full of love
Treehouse, treehouse…
(That’s right…)
Treehouse, treehouse…
(Feels good… give it a little Roy Orbison now)
Treehouse, treehouse…
Let’s go one more time
Don’t matter if I’m working baby on this song
Don’t matter if it’s raining honey all day long
Our love it takes us out there dancing in the street
Our home’s a place to share our little sweet retreat
That’s shining real bright now from up high above
It’s our little treehouse baby full of love
Treehouse, treehouse…
Don’t matter if I’m up here baby singing this song
Don’t matter if it’s raining honey all day long
Our love it takes us out there dancing in the street
Our home’s a place to share our little sweet retreat
That’s nestled real high now in the sky above
It’s our little treehouse baby full of love
No don’t matter that I’m up here baby singing this song
Don’t matter ‘cause I’m up here rocking all night night night long!
Family’s up and dancing baby to this beat
Our neighbor’s out there shouting honey in the street
‘Cause rocking real high now from up high above
It’s our little treehouse baby full of love
Treehouse, treehouse…
Yeah, rocking real high now from the sky above
It’s our little treehouse baby full of love

Songwriter’s note:
The lyrics, “Let’s go one more time...” and the vocal stylings that precede them are an expression of my love for Roy Orbison and his 1961 version of the rockabilly classic “Mean Woman Blues” written by Claude DeMetrius in 1957.
