Let the Rest of the World Go By

LET THE REST
OF THE WORLD GO BY 1919
WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU,
A PAL SO GOOD AND TRUE,
I’D LIKE TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
AND GO AND FIND,
A PLACE THAT’S KNOWN TO GOD ALONE;
JUST A SPOT TO CALL OUR OWN.
WE’LL FIND PERFECT PEACE,
WHERE JOYS WILL NEVER CEASE,
OUT THERE BENEATH THE KINDLY SKY.
WE’LL BUILD A SWEET LITTLE NEST,
SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE WEST,
AND LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY.
