Lyrics
Chorus
I want to plant a picture in your mind
Where folks are kind and true
Even roses kissed by dew nod a welcome home to you
Where there’s a “glad-to-see-you” light that lies
In someone’s eyes of blue
It’s a happy place a smile on ev’ry face
You wouldn’t dare to wear a frown
My heart is way down there in mother’s care
In that old New England town
2. When I wake up in the morning from my land of dreams
Just as the new day is dawning life much brighter seems
The skies are always fair and that is where I long to rest
In dreams I’m always there back in the town I love the best
