Jim Reeves
"Dear Hearts and Gentle People"

(Bob Hillard - Sammy Fain)

I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my home town
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who never ever let me down.

They read the good book from Friday `til Monday
That`s how the weekend goes
I`ve got a dream house I`ll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin` rose.

I feel so welcome each time that I return
`Til my happy heart`s laughin` like a clown
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my home town.

I feel so welcome each time that I return
`Til my happy heart`s laughin` like a clown
I love those dear, dear hearts and those gentle people
Who never ever let you down...
