Good guessing, Roger! I had to cheat and look it up.

MY BLUE HEAVEN
(words by George Whiting, music by Walter Donaldson)

When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh,
I hurry to my Blue Heaven.
A turn to the right, a little white light,
Will lead me to my Blue Heaven.

You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom;
Just Mollie and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.

The recording I thought of first was by Louis Armstrong, but it was also recorded by Fats Domino and many others.
