Letter to the Editor: A Song for Manchester, “Home Sweet Home” (lyric)

September 17, 2018

I wrote this song for Manchester.

A song for Manchester, Michigan
by Marilyn Max, May 2017

It’s a little too hot in Summer,
In Winter a bit too cold.
Sometimes it rains for days on end
but it’s a wonderful place to grow old.

This Quiet midwestern Town
Is a good place to work and live
It’s a great place to get married and
have a few kids…

(Chorus)
It’s good to be home sweet home
It’s good to be home sweet home
It’s good to be home sweet home
It’s good to be home sweet home

I know it’s far from Perfect
And there’s no great claim to Fame
Just a Quiet Local countryside
And when you’ve left, You’re glad you came!

(Chorus)

Marilyn Max
Ypsilanti, MI
