Honeymoon Inn 1916 Kern "Have A Heart"

Out beyond the far horizon,
there's a place I've not set eyes on,
where a happy haven wedded lovers may win.
Covered deep in honey suckles,
near a stream that laughs and chuckles,
bathed in golden sunshine,
stands the Honeymoon Inn.

Life's always May there,
for sweethearts who stray there,
away from the bustle and din.
All days are gay there
and no days are grey there
when you're at the Honeymoon Inn.
You live on bread and cheese and kisses
you know that this is the thing to do.
I'd go and stay there,
I'd spend ev'ry day there,
if only the way there, I knew.

Life's always May there,
for sweethearts who stray there,
away from the bustle and din.
All days are gay there
and no days are grey there
when you're at the Honeymoon Inn.
You live on bread and cheese and kisses
you know that this is the thing to do.
I'd go and stay there,
I'd spend ev'ry day there,
if only the way there, I knew.

Happy lovers there are able
to hold hands beneath the table,
if they're caught embracing
there is no one to grin.
No one pays the least attention;
kissing is a great invention,
ev'rybody does it
at the Honeymoon Inn.

Life's always May there,
for sweethearts who stray there,
away from the bustle and din.
All days are gay there
and no days are grey there
when you're at the Honeymoon Inn.
You live on bread and cheese and kisses
you know that this is the thing to do.
I'd go and stay there,
I'd spend ev'ry day there,
if only the way there, I knew.

Life's always May there,
for sweethearts who stray there,
away from the bustle and din.
All days are gay there
and no days are grey there
when you're at the Honeymoon Inn.
You live on bread and cheese and kisses
you know that this is the thing to do.
I'd go and stay there,
I'd spend ev'ry day there,
if only the way there, I knew.
