Porchlight
William Elliott Whitmore

the sweetest labor that my heart has knownnis the field on which I standncause every single seed thats been sown nwas put in the ground by my handnnand some times the sun goes down a little too soonnbefore the days work is throughnand I keep on going by the light of the moonnwhen Id rather be home with younnwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nI come home from the fieldnwhen its too dark to seenwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nnI can barely stand up ntheres more to be donenoh, the bottom field needs to be plowednand I never asked help from anyonenbut Lord I can use some nownnjust give me the strength to make it back homenI cant work no morenand Lord let her be the first thing I seenwhen I crawl through that front doornnwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nto light my way backnfrom the night so blacknwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nnwell Im sick as a dognand no one can helpnoh, the pains more than I can bearnbut still my thoughts driftnto the one sweet giftnthe world that we sharennand I hate for you to see me like thisnoh I remember when I was strongnif I didnt have these IVs in my wristnwell Id hold you in my armsnnwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nthis hospital bed nis where Ive to benwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nnthey say that I aint got long for this lifenoh they say that its my time to gondarling youve been the most wonderful wifenthat any man could knownnwell you stuck by me through thick and through thinnsince the day you became my bridenand someday Ill hope to see you againnwhen we meet on the other sidennwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nwould you leave the porchlight on for me?neven though just a memory nis all that Ill benwould you leave the porchlight on for me?nneven though just a memorynis all that Ill be...nwould you leave the porchlight on for me?
