Day is ending, birds are wending Back to the shelter of Each little nest they love
Nightshades falling, lovers calling What makes the World go round Nothing but love
When whippoorwills call And evening is nigh I hurry to my Blue Heaven
I turn to the right A little white light Will lead you to my Blue Heaven
A a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room A little nest that nestles where roses bloom
Just Molly and me And baby makes three We're happy in my Blue Heaven
(Orchestral Break)
A a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room A little nest that nestles where roses bloom
Just Molly and me And baby makes three We're happy in my Blue Heaven
(Whistling)
A a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room A little nest that nestles where roses bloom
Just Molly and me And baby makes three We hurry to my Blue Heaven
