Lyrics
1. Just a tiny bit of land
Just a little house we’ve planned
Holds a world of happiness for me
Every day I’m busy there
Late and early, I don’t care
Thinking of the sunny days to be
Chorus:
All the world seems in rhyme
Since I spend all my time
Building a home, building a home for you
And in each little space
I see your smiling face
Building a home, building a home for you
I’ve planned a lot, I’ve worked a lot
But that’s no work to me
For all the time, I’m thinking
Just how pleased you’re going to be
And I dream of the fun
When the good work is done
Building a home, building a home for you
2. Always had this thought in mind
Always hoped that I would find
Someone who would share my little schemes
When I look into your eyes
Then at last I realize
You’re the one to share my house of dreams
