Finding The Long Way Home

Lyric: Gus Kahn
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1929
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse 1:

Somehow we don't ever seem to realize, with smiling skies above,
That the very place we want to leave behind, we always find we love.
Like the rambling road we knew
That I used to roam with you.

Chorus:

I'd like to find the road we roamed together,
Swinging along, finding the long way home.
We didn't mind the time or place or weather,
Singing a song, finding the long way home.
Remember, I used to sigh
At the end of each day, dear;
Time seem'd to fly,
We had so much to say, dear.
Say, dear, wish you and I could be together singing,
"Love's old sweet song," finding the long way home.

Verse 2:

Evenings when the harvest moon was on the rise, within your eyes, I'd see
Just that certain little sort of tender gleam that meant a dream of me.
I can feel you hold me tight
While we said each last, "Good-night";

[Chorus]
