Porchlight |
The sweetest labor that my heart has known |
is the farm on which I stand |
Every single seed that’s been sown |
was put in the ground by my hand |
Sometimes the sun goes down a little too soon |
before the day’s work is through |
I keep on going by the light of the moon |
when I’d rather be home with you |
Would you keep the porchlight on for me? |
I come home from the field when it’s too dark to see |
I can barely stand up |
but there’s more to be done |
the bottom field needs to be plowed |
I’ve never asked help from anyone |
but Lord I could use some now |
Give me the strength to make it back home |
I can’t work no more |
Lord let her be the first thing I see |
when I crawl through that front door |
Would you leave the porchlight on for me? |
To light my way back from the night so black |
I’m sick as a dog and no one can help |
the pain’s more than I can bear |
Still my thoughts drift to the one sweet gift |
the love that we share |
I hate for you to see me like this |
Remember when I was strong? |
If i didn’t have these I.V.'s in my wrists |
I’d hold you in my arms |
Would you leave the porchlight on for me? |
This hospital bed is where I’ve got to be |
They say that I ain’t got long for this life |
they say that it’s my time to go |
Darlin' you’ve been the most wonderful wife |
that any man has known |
You’ve stuck by me through thick and through thin |
since the day you became my bride |
Someday i hope to see you again |
when we meet on the other side |
Would you leave the porchlight on for me? |
Even though just a memory is all that I’ll be |
would you leave the porchlight on for me? |
