This is a good song I’ve always liked. It just seems so nice that whoever might be living in the house are feeling contented the way things are.
***
From a Wiki article:
The song originated from a domestic event that took place while Graham Nash was living with Joni Mitchell (and her two cats[4]) in her house in Laurel Canyon (Los Angeles), after they had gone out for breakfast and had bought an inexpensive vase on Ventura Boulevard.[5] Nash wrote the song in an hour, on Mitchell’s piano.[4]
The song has been covered by a number of artists, including Helen Reddy, The Onyx, Phantom Planet, Sheena Easton, Kidsongs and Sharon, Lois & Bram.
It was used as a commercial jingle for Eckrich sausage in the 1980s, and for Sears Kenmore appliance advertisements in 1989.[10] It has appeared in various television shows and films. It was also used in an advert for Halifax Building Society in the 1990s.

You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
For hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me
Only for me
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room (Such a cozy room)
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you, only for you
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy ’cause of you
And our
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy ’cause of you
And our
While you place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
