Musicman Lyr Req: Let the Rest of the World Go By (19) Lyr Add: LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY^^ 15 Apr 01


What you have there is just the chorus.....

The song was Written in 1919, J. Keirn Brennan and Ernest R. Ball.

The verses are:

Is the struggle and strife we find in this life
Really worth while after all?
I've been wishing today I could just run away
Out where the west winds call.

CHORUS: With someone like you, a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone,
Just a spot to call our own.
We'll find perfect peace, Where joys never cease,
Out there beneath a kindly sky.
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west,
And let the rest of the world go by.

Is the future to hold just struggles for gold
While the real world waits outside,
Away out on the breast of the wonderful West,
Across the great Divide?

Melody is available if you want it.. pm me.... enjoy..

Musicman ^^
