Cottage by the Lee-Larry Cunningham

Cottage By the Lee - Larry Cunningham Written by：Richard Farrelly 'Tis well I know that often folks keep wond'ring When in my eyes a far off look they see What can it be the cause of all my dreaming What is this dream so very dear to me And truth to tell 'tis often I go roaming In dreams along the road of memory To where my heart will find its consolation Within that lovely cottage by the Lee My home sweet home that I so fondly cherish The dear ones there mean everything to me In all this world if there could be a heaven I'm sure it's in that cottage by the Lee 'Tis grand to stand outside that cottage doorway And gaze across the corn fields so rich and gold To hear the stream go rippling by the meadow Or watch the shepherd calling to his fold Brought down the lane that winds behind the garden The blackbird greets the smiling summer morn And as his music echoes o'er the valley You smile and bless the day that you were born Yes that's my dream my lovely dream of homeland And though I thought a rover I could be It's soon I found I left my heart behind me Within that lovely cottage by the Lee
