You can tell,
When you open the door!
You can tell,
If theres love in a home!
Every table and chair seems to smile,
Do come in, come and stay for a while.
You almost feel youve been there once before,
By the shine and glow of the room!
And the clock seems to chime,
Come again anytime,
Youll be welcome wherever you roam!
You can tell when theres love in a home!
~ from the 1956 Stage musical "L'il Abner"
Music by Gene De Paul and lyrics by Johnny Mercer
