A letra:
From
the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll
be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
Little darlin', come with me
Won't
you help me share my load
From the dark end of the street
To
the bright side of the road
Into this life we're born
Baby
sometimes, sometimes we don't know why
And time seems to go by so
fast
In the twinkling of an eye
Let's enjoy it while we can (let's
enjoy it while we can)
Won't you help me share my load (help me
share my load)
From the dark end of the street
To the bright
side of the road
Into this life we're born
Baby
sometimes, sometimes we don't know why
And time seems to go by so
fast
In the twinkling of an eye
Let's enjoy it while we can (let's
enjoy it while we can)
Help me sing my song (help me sing my
song)
Little darling come alone
To the bright side of the road
On the dark end of the street (on the
dark end of the street)
To the bright side of the road (to the
bright side of the road)
Little darling come alone
On the
bright side of the road
On the dark end of the street (on the dark
end of the street)
To the bright side of the road (to the bright
sight of the road)
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright
side of the road
Yeah, we'll be, we'll be lovers once again
On
the bright side of the road
