American Old Time Song Lyrics: 11 A Sweet Face At The Window
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 11
A Sweet Face at the Window.
A sweet face at the window,
A dear one at the door,
A fair form at the gate-way,
To greet me home once more.
And as I tread the path-way
Of duty And of care,
How sweet to know the loved ones
Await my coming there.
Chorus.
A sweet face at the window,
A dear one at the door,
A fair form at the gate-way,
To greet me home once more.
A sweet face at the window-
O, how I long to be
Within that little cottage
Where all are dear to me;
Where fond hearts beat responsive
To every wish of mine,
And love, like gentle ivy,
In fragrance round it twine.-Chorus.
A sweet face at the window,
A spirit bright and blest,
That watches for my coming
More constant than the rest;
And she will come to meet me
The first, outside the door;
With her so true and loving,
I'll tarry evermore.-Chorus.
