My Blue Heaven
written by George Whiting and Walter Donaldson, 1924
Gene Austin hit version, 1927
Verse
Day is ending, birds are wending
Back to the shelter of each little nest they love
Night shades falling, love birds calling
What makes the world go round, nothing but love
!
Refrain/Chorus:
A When Whippoorwills call, evenin' is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
A I turn to the right, there's a little white light
will lead you to my blue heaven
B A smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom
A Just Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my blue heaven
