Once a boy met a man who was famous,
filled with envy the boy sadly sighed:
"Oh, how happy I'd be,
if such fame smiled on me,"
Then the famous man replied:

The road that leads to fortune and fame,
is paved with gold in your dreams,
but after you've journeyed
and reached your aim,
it seldom is all that it seems,
to have, to hold, to love and caress
is all we can ask from above,
for the road that leads to happiness,
is the road that leads to love.

The road that leads to fortune and fame,
is paved with gold in your dreams,
but after you've journeyed
and reached your aim,
it seldom is all that it seems,
to have, to hold, to love and caress
is all we can ask from above,
for the road that leads to happiness,
is the road that leads to love.

On the highway of love ev'ry milestone
is an angel from Heaven above,
all the world will be bright
if you turn to the right,
to the road that leads to love.

The road that leads to fortune and fame,
is paved with gold in your dreams,
but after you've journeyed
and reached your aim,
it seldom is all that it seems,
to have, to hold, to love and caress
is all we can ask from above,
for the road that leads to happiness,
is the road that leads to love.

The road that leads to fortune and fame,
is paved with gold in your dreams,
but after you've journeyed
and reached your aim,
it seldom is all that it seems,
to have, to hold, to love and caress
is all we can ask from above,
for the road that leads to happiness,
is the road that leads to love.
