American Old Time Song Lyrics: 13 There's A Smile Waiting For Me At Home
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 13
There's a Smile Waiting for Me at Home
Troubles we fancy are heavy to bear,
In traveling life's dreary way;
Some are heart-broken with sorrow and care.
Others are cheerful and gay.
The road may be rough, and the journey be long,
As over its pathways I roam;
Contented I sing, this the theme of my song:
There's a smile waiting for me at home.
Chorus.
The frowns of the world they are nothing to me,
Trials and troubles may come;
I've this consolation where'er I may be:
There's a smile waiting for me at home.
Weary and worn, and by labor oppressed.
Or sneered at by fools in their pride;
The shrine of my love and the haven of rest,
I find at my own fireside.
Voices so gentle, and hearts that are warm,
To cheer me when sorrow should come;
I know I've a shelter from every storm,
In the smiles that await me at home.-Chorus.
