BENEATH THE LIGHTS OF HOME (IN A LITTLE OLD SLEEPY TOWN)
Music Walter Jurmann
Lyrics Bernie Grossman 1941

Deanna Durbin 1941


As sung by Deanna Durbin in Nice Girl? 1941
Director: William A .Seiter
Leads: Deanna Durbin/Franchot Tone/Walter Brennan


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

I can see somebody there
Loving eyes and silver hair
I can see her kneel in prayer
Beneath the lights of home.

In that little old sleepy town
Nothing happens when the sun goes down
Not a thing but moonbeams run around
In a starry dome.

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

In that little old sleepy town
Nothing happens when the sun goes down
Not a thing but moonbeams run around
In a starry dome.

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