Beneath The Lights Of Home 1941 'Nice Girl' Deanna Durbin

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 May 2002

Shadows ev'rywhere;
Winter in the air,
yet somewhere the sun is shining;
Days are bright and fair,
I close my eyes and visualize
one spot beyond compare:

I can see the lights of home,
shining brightly o'er the foam,
beckon to me while I roam
away from lights of home;
I can see somebody there,
loving eyes and silver hair,
I can see her kneel in prayer
beneath the lights of home.
In that little old sleepy town
nothing happens when the sun goes down,
not a thing but moonbeams run around
in a starry dome.
Turn the hands of time for me,
let me live my memory,
once again I long to be
beneath the lights of home.

I can see the lights of home,
shining brightly o'er the foam,
beckon to me while I roam
away from lights of home;
I can see somebody there,
loving eyes and silver hair,
I can see her kneel in prayer
beneath the lights of home.
In that little old sleepy town
nothing happens when the sun goes down,
not a thing but moonbeams run around
in a starry dome.
Turn the hands of time for me,
let me live my memory,
once again I long to be
beneath the lights of home.

Spring returns again
sunshine follows rain
soon the fields of corn will ripen
flowers will bloom anew
Somehow it seems that my sweet dreams
will one day all come true.

I can see the lights of home,
shining brightly o'er the foam,
beckon to me while I roam
away from lights of home;
I can see somebody there,
loving eyes and silver hair,
I can see her kneel in prayer
beneath the lights of home.
In that little old sleepy town
nothing happens when the sun goes down,
not a thing but moonbeams run around
in a starry dome.
Turn the hands of time for me,
let me live my memory,
once again I long to be
beneath the lights of home.

I can see the lights of home,
shining brightly o'er the foam,
beckon to me while I roam
away from lights of home;
I can see somebody there,
loving eyes and silver hair,
I can see her kneel in prayer
beneath the lights of home.
In that little old sleepy town
nothing happens when the sun goes down,
not a thing but moonbeams run around
in a starry dome.
Turn the hands of time for me,
let me live my memory,
once again I long to be
beneath the lights of home.
