The dearest spot on earth to me
Is home, sweet home;
The fairy land I long to see
Is home, sweet home.
There how charm'd the sense of hearing,
There where love is so endearing,
All the world is not so cheering
As home, sweet home.
I've taught my heart the way to prize
My home, sweet home;
I've learned to look with lover's eyes
On home, sweet home.
There where vows are truly plighted,
There where hearts are so united,
All the world besides I've slighted,
For home, sweet home.
