William Elliott Whitmore - Porchlight lyrics

rate me

the sweetest labor that my heart has known

is the field on which I stand

‘cause every single seed that’s been sown

was put in the ground by my hand

and some times the sun goes down a little too soon

before the day’s work is through

and I keep on going by the light of the moon

when I’d rather be home with you

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

I come home from the field

when it’s too dark to see

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

I can barely stand up

there’s more to be done

oh, the bottom field needs to be plowed

and I never asked help from anyone

but Lord I can use some now

just give me the strength to make it back home

I can’t work no more

and Lord let her be the first thing I see

when I crawl through that front door

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

to light my way back

from the night so black

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

well I’m sick as a dog

and no one can help

oh, the pain’s more than I can bear

but still my thoughts drift

to the one sweet gift

the world that we share

and I hate for you to see me like this

oh I remember when I was strong

if I didn’t have these IVs in my wrist

well I’d hold you in my arms

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

this hospital bed

is where I’ve to be

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

they say that I ain’t got long for this life

oh they say that it’s my time to go

darling you’ve been the most wonderful wife

that any man could know

well you stuck by me through thick and through thin

since the day you became my bride

and someday I’ll hope to see you again

when we meet on the other side

would you leave the porchlight on for me?

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?

even though just a memory

is all that I’ll be...

would you leave the porchlight on for me?<br />
