THE HOME FIRE
(George
Weiss / Bob Thiele)
Pardon the smile on my face my friendDreamin'
of reachin' my journeys endI'm
headin' straight for my hearts desireGee,
it's good to know I'm near the home
fire
All of the folks that I love are
thereI got a date with my favourite chairWith
every step every hope grows higherDidn't
know how much I missed the home fire
The noises, the TV, the rusty old
pipesThe cat always teasin' my dogThe
neighbours, the quarrels, the screaming
of kidsFor the first time in years I'll
sleep like a log
Heaven is waiting for me, my friendSeven
or eight dreams around the bendAnd if
you're ever in town inquireWe'll
be glad to have you share the home fire
Yes, the noises, the TV, the rusty
old pipesThe cat always teasin' my dogThe
neighbours, the quarrels, the scream
of the kidsFor the first time in years I'll
sleep like a log
Heaven is waiting for me, my friendSeven
or eight dreams around the bendAnd if
you're ever in town inquireWe'll
be glad to have you share the home fire
We'll be glad to have you share the
home fire
