American Old Time Song Lyrics: 15 There's A Little Vacant Chair

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 15

There's a Little Vacant Chair.

There is a little vacant chair, .
The dearest keepsake in our home,
Left by our baby darling there,
Who now in angel land doth roam;
We often look on it and weep,
We cherish it with tender care,
And pleasant are the thoughts we keep
Of this little vacant chair.

Chorus.
It Is a little vacant chair,
That never more on earth will hold
Our darling one, so sweet and fair.
Who walks the shining streets of gold.

There is a little vacant chair,
Endeared to us by many ties,
Oft sat our baby blossom there,
With rosy cheeks and laughing eyes;
But now the sunny face we miss,
The dimpled hands and silken hair,
No ruby lips for us to kiss,
Within that little vacant chair.-Chorus.

There is a little vacant chair,
That of our treasures seems the best,
Worth more to us than -jewels rare,
By love a relic ever blessed;
The days may come, the days depart,
And we may meet with loss and care,
But sacred to each loving heart
Shall be our little vacant chair.-Chorus.
