American Old Time Song Lyrics: 15 As Long As The World Goes Round

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 15

As Long as the World Goes Round.

There are times to be merry and times to be sad
On this changeable earth of ours;
There's a share of the good and a share of the bad
In our journey thro' thorns and flowers.
There are parts of the way that are blooming and gay,
There are parts that are stony ground;
And so it will be, I can easily see,
As long as the world goes round.

Chorus.
As long as the world goes round,
As long as the world goes round,
And so it will be, I can easily see,
As long as the world goes round.

Tho' our hearts may grow faint in the battle of life,
'Tis a comfort at least to feel
That the morrow may bring a new turn to the strife,
In a turning of fortune's wheel.
Tho' the sky be o'ercast, there is sunshine at last
Where the blackest of clouds are found;
And so it will be, I can easily see.
As long as the world goes round.-Chorus.

Let us bow to the sorrows fate throws in our way,
There is hope when its frowns are worst;
And enjoy the bright weather of life while we may,
For to-morrow the storm will burst.
Seize the best when you can, bear the worst like a man
'Tis a motto both safe and sound;
And so it will be, I can easily see,
As long as the world goes round.-Chorus.
