Let the Rest of the World Go By - Don Edwards

Is the struggle and strife we find in this life

Really worth while, after all

I’ve been wishing today I could just run away

Out where the west winds call

With someone like you, a pal good and true

I’d like to leave it all behind and go and find

Some place that’s known to God alone

Just a spot to call our own

We’ll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease

Out there beneath a kindly sky

We’ll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west

And let the rest of the world go by Is the future to hold just struggles for gold

While the real world waits outside

Away out on the breast of the wonderful west

Across the Great Divide

With someone like you, a pal good and true

I’d like to leave it all behind and go and find

Some place that’s known to God alone

Just a spot to call our own

We’ll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease

Out there beneath a kindly sky

We’ll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west

And let the rest of the world go by
