A Cottage for Sale

A Cottage for Sale

"A Cottage for Sale" is a popular song. The theme is the story of an empty cottage and a failed marriage. The song begins:

:A little dream castle:With every dream gone:Is lonely and silent:The shades are all drawn:And my heart is heavy:As I gaze upon :A cottage for sale

The music was written by Willard Robison, the lyrics by Larry Conley. The song was published in 1930.

The song has become a standard, with many notable recordings; the most popular versions were by Frank Sinatra and by Billy Eckstine. Chuck Berry sings the song, accompanied only by electric guitar, in an intimate backstage moment in his concert film "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll".
