And the scent of jasmines on a summer night Take the song of the brook, as it flows along And lo! A song is born
Take a baby shoe, and a rose that's pressed
And the memory of a wedding dress
Take the dreams of the years that have long passed on
And lo! A song is born
HOME
VERSE
No matter where you wonder, no matter where you roam
The one place dearest, to your heart is home sweet home
Though the folks may treat you nicely
When the close of day draws nigh
And you think about your home sweet home
You could sit right down and cry
CHORUS
You can travel north and south and east and far into the west But your heart strings tied to the latch key of the place that you love best Though there?s lots of folks around you, still you feel so all alone Cause you?re longing for the place you love, your home sweet home
2ND VERSE
It may not be a mansion just a single little cot
Sitting out among the trees in a quiet and peaceful spot
When the songbirds serenade you. and the wild flowers love to bloom
It?s the place right next to heaven, cause its home sweet home
MEMORIES
VERSE
Memories, memories so dear to my heart Memories, memories may we never part I will keep you close to me I?ll search eternality
Priceless treasures you will be. my beloved memories REFRAIN
Moonlight and Magnolias long a sleepy southern shore Tho? the years have passed away I love you more and more Time has left its traces, but our love is just the same We?ll find peace, and tenderness down in memory lane
