Give me a little cosy corner<\/strong>
Words by Clifford Harris
Music by Jas. W Tate

Some people sigh for land afar, 
Or wealth and mansions fair, 
And others build just where they are 
Their castles in the air. 
I don't believe in wasting time 
On things we may not see, 
But love makes anywhere sublime, 
Where ever two maybe

Give me a little cosy corner 
And an armchair for two; 
Somewhere, with somebody there, 
Anywhere will do. 
Give me an evening in the twilight 
With the pale moon above, 
And I'll find a little cosy corner 
In the heart of the girl\/boy I love<\/em>

For after all is said and done 
We've just so long to live,
And when two fond hearts beat as one 
Love has so much to give. 
In lowly home or mansion grand, 
When hearts that love are there, 
They peep into a wonderland: 
It does not matter where.
