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

    F                        Fm
And into this life we're born

Baby, sometimes, sometimes we don't know why
F                              Fm
And time seems to go by so fast

In the twinkling of an eye

Let's enjoy it while we can

Baby sometimes, baby sometimes

And time seems to go by so fast
In the twinkling of an eye

Let's enjoy it while we can

Won't you help me sing my song?
(Help me sing my song)
Little darling come along
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 darlin' come along
On the bright side of the road

On the dark end of the street
(On the dark end of the street)
Oh baby, 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
Yeah yeah yeah, we'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
