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 pa**ed 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
