Words by J. Keirn Brennan, Music by Ernest R. Ball Copyright 1919 by M. Witmark & Sons
Is the struggle and strife
With someone like you, A pal good and true, I'd like to leave it all behind, And go and find Someplace that's known To God alone, Just a spot to call our own.
We'll find perfect peace,
Is the future to hold

Burr sings "Out where the west winds [pronounced "wineds"] call." ~Masato |

A special thanks to "GUEST" who posted the link to the sheet music, Tiger for the complete lyrics and credits, and masato sakurai for the link to The Virtual Gramophone! Can't wait to listen to it, but my 15 month old is sleeping right now! It's sure to wake him up. Thanks again, everybody! Elaine |
