Lyrics

  1. Everyone longs for a home of their own
    What a Heaven on earth it must be
    Many may sigh for a castle of stone
    Still there’s only one love nest for me

Refrain:
Just a little white house
With the little green blinds
At the end of Honeymoon Lane
Just a little white gate
That early and late
Seems to say, “Won’t you please call again”
You leave troubles outside
And your joys just begin
When the little front door
Whispers “Won’t you come in
To the little white house
When the little green blinds
At the end of Honeymoon Lane”

  1. When you are thru with the cares of the day
    When the sun slowly sinks in the West
    Footsteps grow lighter as they lead the way
    To a haven where you will find rest
