Letra:
I sat midst amighty throng within a palace grand
In a city far beyond the sea, In a distant foreign land,
I listened the grandest strain, My ear had ever heard.
Enraptured, charmed, amazed I was, My inmost soul was stirred.
I looked on the singer fair, My heart was at her feet.
She sang of love, the old, old theme, In accents low and sweet.
And then she sang a song, that made the teardrop´s start;
She sang a song, a song of home, A song that reached my heart.
That night I shall never forget, That night with its pleasure and pain,
I think of the singer, I think of the song,
And wish I could live it again. In fancy again I recall
The scene with its splendor bright; The mighty throng,
the palace grand, Oh the mem´ry of that night,
My faney it may have been, But never had I heard
A song that thrilled me o´er like this, Like this so strangely stirred.
The mem´ries of that night of bliss, will never from me part.
She sang a song of "Home, sweet home",
the song that reached my heart.
Chorus
Home, Home, Sweet, sweet home.
She sang the song of "Home, sweet home",
The song that reached my heart.
Home, Home, Sweet, sweet home.
