Burl Ives — The Old Front Porch lyrics

Lyrics

Three creaky wooden stairs
Those squeaky rockin' chairs
The well worn welcome mat
The lattice vines
The happy times
All I want to do When the day is through
Is linger here on the front porch with you
From the wicker swing
While the night birds sing
We’ll watch the fireflies sparkin'
Do some sparkin' too
How the hours fly
As the moon drifts by How sweet the air
As we stare
At the sky
Oh! How I love to linger here like this
Hold your hand, and steal a kiss or two
On the front porch with you
All I want to do When the day is through
Is linger here on the front porch with you
From the wicker swing
While the night birds sing
We’ll watch the fireflies sparkin'
Do some sparkin' too
(Some sparkin' too!)
How the hours fly
As the moon drifts by How sweet the air
As we stare
At the sky
Oh! How I love to linger here like this
Hold your hand, and steal a kiss or two
On the front porch with you
