Ruth Etting Build A Little Home Lyrics

You'll always have a roof above you
As long as there's a sky
And if you have someone to love you
You're sure of getting by

You don't need a lot of log and stone
Build a home on happiness alone

With a thousand little stars
We can decorate the ceiling
With enough domestic feeling
We can build a little home

Every single little dream
Is a shingle or a rafter
We can paint the house with laughter
When we build a little home

It's not a palace, nor a poorhouse
But the rent is absolutely free This is my house, but it's your house
If you'll come and live with me

With a carpet on the floor
Made of buttercups and clover
All our troubles will be over
When we build a little home

We'll dine for hours 'mid the flowers
Eating apples from an apple tree
We'll take showers in the showers
That the clouds bring from the sea

When we want to go to sleep
While the weary world reposes
We can make a bed of roses
When we build a little home
