[Verse 1]
G
Sad and alone in a mansion
   G                 D
No loving heart to caress
D
Sat a man sad and lonely
   D                    G
No loving wife's lips to kiss
    G
She married him for a position
   G           G7        C
No love in her heart had she
C                 G
Sad and alone, in his fine home
   D                         G
He looked all around him and said

[Chorus]
G
What is a home without a baby?
        G                      D
Just to love and to tease and adore?
    D
And what is home without a sweet wife?
   D                          G
To kiss you each night at the door?
    G
And what is a home without sunshine?
   G                 G7         C
To spread its bright rays from above?
C                       G
You may have wealth and its pleasures
    D                      G
But what is a home without love?

[Verse 2]
       G
He was walking down the streets one evening
      G                      D
As he passed by a cottage so neat
   D
He stopped and looked in a window
        D                      G
Then he saw there a picture so sweet
  G
A husband, a wife, and a baby
     G              G7   C
Just hugging and kissing too
C                              G
He stepped aside, his tears to hide
D                            G
And from his lips came these words

[Chorus]
G
What is a home without a baby?
        G                      D
Just to love and to tease and adore?
    D
And what is home without a sweet wife?
   D                          G
To kiss you each night at the door?
    G
And what is a home without sunshine?
   G                 G7         C
To spread its bright rays from above?
C                       G
You may have wealth and its pleasures
    D                      G
But what is a home without love?
