Lyrics

  1. There are times when the heart is lonely
    No matter how gay life may be
    There are moments when we long for only
    The past with its sweet memory

Chorus
At the end of a lane there’s a pathway
That leads to the land of my dreams
Where a cottage once stood
In an old neighborhood
That now is a “Main Street” it seems
I would give all my wealth and ambition
That I’ve struggled so hard to gain
Just to live once more day
In the same sweet old way
In my home at the end of a lane

  1. In the heart of some home a love light
    Is burning for you or for me
    Like a beacon it guides us to do right
    If we’re only willing to see
