Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And into this life we're born
Baby, sometimes
Baby, sometimes we don't know why, no
And it seems to go by so fast
In the twinkling of an eye
[Verse 6]
Let's enjoy it while we can
(Let's enjoy it while we can)
Won't you help me sing my song
(Help me sing my song)
Little darlin', come along
On the bright side of the road
Well
[Verse 7]
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
Let me tell ya
[Verse 8]
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)
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
Well we'll be
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
