music sheet cover Beneath the Lights of Home
(In a Little Old Sleepy Town)

I can see the lights of home
Shining brightly o'er the foam;
Beckon to me while I roam
Away from the lights of home.

In that little old sleepy town
Nothing happens after the sun goes down;
Nothing but moonbeams roam around
Beneath the lights of home.

Turn the hands of time for me,
Let me live in my memory.
Once again I long to be
Beneath the lights of home.
