Somewhere Along The Way

Sammy Davis Jr. · Other Songs - Sammy Davis Jr.

I used to walk with you

Along the avenue

Our hearts were carefree and gay

How could I know I'd lose you

Somewhere along the way?



The friends we used to know

Would always smile "Hello"

No love like our love they'd say

Then love slipped through our fingers

Somewhere along the way



I should forget

But with the loneliness of night I start remembering everything

You're gone and yet

There's still a feeling deep inside

That you will always be part of me



So now I look for you

Along the avenue

And as I wander I pray

That some day soon I'll find you

Somewhere along the way



I should forget

But with the loneliness of night I start remembering everything

You're gone and yet

There's still a feeling deep inside

That you will always be part of me



So now I look for you

Along the avenue

And as I wander I pray

That some day soon I'll find you

Somewhere along the way

Somewhere along the way
