White Lighting

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You hung a paper lantern by the kitchen door, Said, “Let’s make this little room a little more.” We found a jar of buttons, a spool of twine, And every white bulb made the whole place shine. [Chorus] White lighting, bright as a summer day, Turns the old wood table into a holiday. White lighting, every corner clear, You make a little room feel wide and near. [Verse 2] The porch took on a silver kind of grace, The dog sat still and watched the moonlit place. You tied a ribbon round the sugar tin, And I said, “That’s the finest thing I’ve seen.” [Chorus] White lighting, bright as a summer day, Turns the old wood table into a holiday. White lighting, every corner clear, You make a little room feel wide and near. [Bridge] When the evening settles and the windows dim, We’ll leave one little lamp to welcome friends in. No grand parade, no fancy display, Just a warm white circle where we can stay. [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] White lighting, bright as a summer day, Turns the old wood table into a holiday. White lighting, every corner clear, You make a little room feel wide and near. White lighting, let the good times stay, We’ll keep that little lamp on till the break of day. [Outro] You make a little room feel wide and near.
