Last Line: I know each one. I love this little town.
Subject(s): Towns


'Twas in this little town I first saw light,
And in this place I'd like to say "Goodnight."

Though I have seldom traveled far from here,
Yet when I did, return seemed doubly dear.

The tradesmen who have come and then passed on --
Dear friends and loved ones who have long since gone --

The folks who live here now and whom I greet --
All meet me as I walk down memory's street.

And when fate tears me from this well-loved place,
Replants me where I scarcely know a face,

I shall remember church bells ring each week
Where old friends meet and smile, and pause to speak.

I'll not forget the homes -- white -- yellow -- brown --
I know each one. I love this little town.
