There is always a place for you at my table,

You never need to be invited.

I’ll share every crust as long as I am able,

And know you will be delighted.

There is always a place for you by my fire,

And though it may burn to embers,

If warmth and good cheer are your desire

The friend of your heart remembers!

There is always a place for you by my side,

And should the years tear us apart,

I will face lonely moments more satisfied

With a place for you in my heart!
