My Blue Heaven
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll hurry to my blue Heaven
You turn to the right, you find a little bright light
That leads you to my blue Heaven
You find a cozy place, fireplace, cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me and baby makes three
We're happy in my blue Heaven
When whip-poor-will call and evening is night
I'll hurry to my blue Heaven
Yes, turn to the right, you find a little bright light
That leads you to my blue Heaven
You find a cozy place, fireplace, cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me, and baby makes three
We're happy in my blue Heaven
