We Lived Alone lyrics
by Connie Converse
We lived alone
My house and I
We had the earth
We had the sky
I had a lamp against the dark
And I was happy as a lark
We lived alone
My house and I
We had the earth
We had the sky
I had a lamp against the dark
And I was happy as a lark
I had a stove and a window screen
I had a table painted green
Sat on a chair with a broken back
Wearing a pretty potato sack
I had a rug upon the floor
And roses grew around my door
I had a job, my wants were few
They were until I wanted you
And when I set my eyes on you
Nothing else would do
Nothing else would do
