These old songs were on an 8 track tape when i was a kid. I have been trying to find them for years...without any luck. Would appriciate any help. Both songs were male singers/country music.

First song--only line i can remember, "this house once rang with childish laughter, i can hear it echo down the hall" seem like he was singing about where he used to live and was showing the place to prospective buyers. Sorry thats all i can remember.

second song: "all at once her prayers were answered, his simple life became an open book, names like doris cunningham,--------, even marlene cook" ends with "sometimes we know not what we pray for"
