Put A Light In The Window - The Four Lads

Put A Light In The Window

The Four Lads

(Rhoda Roberts - Kenny Jacobson, COLUMBIA 41058, 1957)

There's a house, on the corner
On the corner of the street
In the house you're the pretty
The pretty little gal
Who'll make my life complete

[Chorus:]
Tonight, tonight put a light in the window
To prove that you love me let it shi-i-ine
Tonight, tonight put a light in the window
Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine

Gonna go tell your mother
Baby brother, father too
Let them know there's no other
No there's not another one
Who'll love you like I do

[Chorus]

Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum ditty dum dum dum
You pretty little gal you're more than I deserve
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum ditty dum dum dum
Gonna climb the stairs, gonna ring that bell
Before I lose my nerve

Got a ring for your finger, third finger of your hand
Put a light in the window
Cause tonight you're gonna get a golden wedding band

[Chorus]

Oh tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine
Put a light in the window
And my pretty little gal you'll make my life complete

Also recorded by Crazy Cavan, Teencats, Big Bad Shakin' a.o.
