The Last Little Mile Is The Longest 1921

The longer you roam
the longer the yearning,
you seem to feel something is wrong,
You want to get home
and in your returning,
The pangs of your heart
make the journey so long:

The last little mile is the longest,
the last little mile going home.
You stop on the way
to swallow a tear,
you stop and you say:
"Thank heaven I'm here,"
You'll find yourself praying the strongest
when nearing the ones left alone,
Of the last little mile is the longest
when you're longing for
Home, Sweet Home.

The last little mile is the longest,
the last little mile going home.
You stop on the way
to swallow a tear,
you stop and you say:
"Thank heaven I'm here,"
You'll find yourself praying the strongest
when nearing the ones left alone,
Of the last little mile is the longest
when you're longing for
Home, Sweet Home.

The house on the hill
A candle light gleaming,
is someone at home old and grey?
Your heart seems to fill
with dreams you've been dreaming,
You seem to be near
but you're so far away:

The last little mile is the longest,
the last little mile going home.
You stop on the way
to swallow a tear,
you stop and you say:
"Thank heaven I'm here,"
You'll find yourself praying the strongest
when nearing the ones left alone,
Of the last little mile is the longest
when you're longing for
Home, Sweet Home.

The last little mile is the longest,
the last little mile going home.
You stop on the way
to swallow a tear,
you stop and you say:
"Thank heaven I'm here,"
You'll find yourself praying the strongest
when nearing the ones left alone,
Of the last little mile is the longest
when you're longing for
Home, Sweet Home.
