Vaughn Monroe Dear Hearts And Gentle People Lyrics

VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE

I LOVE THOSE DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE,
WHO LIVE IN MY HOME TOWN.
BECAUSE THOSE DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE,
WILL NEVER, EVER LET YOU DOWN.

THEY READ THE GOOD BOOK FROM FRI TIL MONDAY,
THAT'S HOW THE WEEKEND GOES.
I'VE GOT A DREAM HOUSE I'LL BUILD THERE ONE DAY,
WITH PICKET FENCE AND RAMBLIN' ROSE.

I FEEL SO WELCOME EACH TIME THAT I RETURN,
THAT MY HAPPY HEART KEEPS LAUGHING LIKE A CLOWN.
I LOVE THE DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE,
WHO LIVE AND LOVE IN MY HOME TOWN.

THERE'S A PLACE I'D LOVE TO BE, AND IT'S BACK IN TENNESSEE,
WHERE YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORS SMILE & SAY'HELLO'.
IT'S A PLEASURE AND A TREAT TO MEANDER DOWN THE STREET,
THAT'S WHY I WANT THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO KNOW.

I LOVE THOSE DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE,
WHO LIVE IN MY HOME TOWN.
BECAUSE THOSE DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE,
WILL NEVER EVER LET YOU DOWN.

ORCHESTRAL BRIDGE

I FEEL SO WELCOME, EACH TIME THAT I RETURN,
THAT MY HAPPY HEART KEEPS LAUGHING LIKE A CLOWN.
I LOVE THE DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE,
WHO LIVE AND LOVE IN MY HOME TOWN.

THOSE HAPPY PEOPLE, IN MY HOME TOWN!
