Lyrics

  1. Sweet childhood days, sweet summer days
    In my Long Island home
    Through fields so clear o’er pathways near
    Where as a boy I would roam
    Long Island sunshine and Long Island air
    Long Island moonlights there’s none can compare
    Often I think of its beauties so rare
    Take me back to my home sweet home

Refrain
Pleasing thoughts, pleasing dreams
Of the long ago
With it’s springtime of youth and love
In my home by the sea, my sweetheart and me
And the heavenly skies above
For in this divine world as our lives unfurled
We would plan for the days to come
Just a Long Island boy, a Long Island girl
With a spirit of Home Sweet Home

  1. No place to me ever will be
    Like my Long Island home
    No skies so blue, no friends so true
    No place like my Home Sweet Home
    Long Island sunrise and Long Island moon
    Long Island days that pass only too soon
    Long Island Gardens and Long Island Shores
    Just keep calling me home sweet home
