Lyrics
You can tell when you open the door
You can tell if there’s love in a home
Ev’ry table and chair seems to smile
Do come in, come and stay for a while
You almost feel you’ve been there once before
By the shine and the glow of the room
And the clock seems to chime
Come again, anytime
You’ll be welcome, wherever you roam
You can tell when there’s love in a home
