A Cottage for Sale Lyrics by Kay Starr, Count Basie

How About This

0

[Verse 1]
Our little dream castle with every dream gone
Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon
A cottage for sale
[Verse 2]
And the lawn we were proud of is waving in hay
Our beautiful garden has withered away
Where you planted the roses, the weeds seem to say
"There's a cottage for sale"
[Bridge]
And from every window
I see your face
But when I reach that window
There's an empty space
[Verse 3]
The key's in the mailbox the same as before
But no one is waiting for me anymore
The end of our story is told on the door
There is a cottage for sale
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And now from every single window
I see your face
But when I reach that window
There's such an empty space
[Verse 3]
The key's in the mailbox the same as before
But no one is waiting for me anymore
The end of our story is told on the door
And our cottage is for sale
