Verse:

One night a star fell from the sky
And we chanced to be passing by;
Out of the silver and gilt,
We saw a dream-house built.
I thought the age of miracles had ended long ago,
But, no, it can't be so,
For here is what I know;

Chorus 1:

This must be the little house that love built,
Let us lock the door and hide the key;
This must be our own enchanted cottage,
Built for two, just for you and for me.
Bundled up inside a magic love quilt,
We can build a dream that never will die;
I know this is the house that love built,
For it was never here till you came by.

Chorus 2:

Let us find the little house that love built,
Then we'll lock the door and hide the key;
Let us find our own enchanted cottage,
Built for two, just for you and for me.
Bundled up inside a magic love quilt,
We can build a dream that never will die;
I know there is a house that love built,
But it was never there till you came by.
