What Is Home Without Love

Sad and alone in a mansion

No loving wife to caress

Sat a man sad and lonely

No loving wife's lips to kiss

She married him for (possessions?)

No love in her heart had she

Sad and alone, in his fine home

He looked all around him and said

What is a home without a baby?

To love and to tease and adore?

What is home without a sweet wife?

To kiss you each night at the door?

What is a home without sunshine?

To spread its bright rays from above?

You can have wealth and its pleasures

But what is a home without love?

Walking down the streets one evening

He passed by a cottage so neat

Stopped and looked in the window

He saw there a picture so sweet

A husband, a wife, and a baby

They were hugging and kissing too

He turned aside, his tears to cry

And from his lips came these words

What is a home without a baby?

To love and to tease and adore?

What is home without a sweet wife?

To kiss you each night at the door?

What is a home without sunshine?

To spread its bright rays from above?

You can have wealth and its pleasures

But what is a home without love?
