My Blue Heaven
Fats Domino · Live In Concert
Birds are wending
Back to the shelter of
Each little nest they love
Nightshades falling
Lovebirds calling
What makes the world go round?
Nothing but love
When Whip-poor-wills call
And ev'ning is nigh
I hurry to
My blue heaven
I turn to the right
A little white light
Will lead you to
My blue heaven
You'll see a smiling face,
A fireplace,
A cozy room
A little nest
That's nestled where
The roses bloom
Just Mollie and me
And baby makes three;
We're happy in
My blue heaven
doo doo doo doo doo
da da da da da
You'll see a smiling face
A fireplace,
A cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just Mollie and me
And baby makes three;
We're happy in
My blue heaven
We're happy in my blue heaven
