Words and music by Irving Berlin
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Weary of roaming on, yearning to see the dawn
Counting the hours till I can lay down my load
Weary but I don’t mind, knowing that soon I’ll find
Peace and contentment at the end of the road
Chorus
The way is long, the night is dark
But I don’t mind ’cause a happy lark
Will be singing
At the end of the road
I can’t go wrong, I must go right
I’ll find my way ’cause a guiding light
Will be shining
At the end of the road
There may be thorns in my path
But I’ll wear a smile
‘Cause in a little while
My path will be roses
The rain may fall from up above
But I won’t stop ’cause the ones I love
Will be waiting
At the end of the road
