Build a Little Home Lyrics by Ruth Etting

Ruth Etting Encores

0

You'll always have a roof above you
As long as there's a sky
And if you have someone to love you
You're sure of getting by
You don't need a lot of log and stone
Build a home on happiness alone
With a thousand little stars
We can decorate the ceiling
With enough domestic feeling
We can build a little home
Every single little dream
Is a shingle or a rafter
We can paint the house with laughter
When we build a little home
It's not a palace, nor a poorhouse
But the rent is absolutely free
This is my house, but it's your house
If you'll come and live with me
With a carpet on the floor
Made of buttercups and clover
All our troubles will be over
When we build a little home
We'll dine for hours 'mid the flowers
Eating apples from an apple tree
We'll take showers in the showers
That the clouds bring from the sea
When we want to go to sleep
While the weary world reposes
We can make a bed of roses
When we build a little home
