G
Sad and alone in a mansion
D7
No loving wife to caress
Sat a man sad and lonely
G
No loving wife's lips to kiss
She married him for (possessions?)
C
No love in her heart had she
Sad and alone, in his fine home
D7 G
He looked all around him and said
Chorus, same progression.
What is a home without a baby?
To love and to tease and adore?
What is home without a sweet wife?
To kiss you each night at the door?
What is a home without sunshine?
To spread its bright rays from above?
You can have wealth and its pleasures
But what is a home without love?
Walking down the streets one evening
He passed by a cottage so neat
Stopped and looked in the window
He saw there a picture so sweet
A husband, a wife, and a baby
They were hugging and kissing too
He turned aside, his tears to cry
And from his lips came these words
