Verse:

Though the road is dusty,
Let's be on our way,
Olden dreams get rusty,
Dream again today;
Memories grow musty,
So why let them live,
When the future has so much to give;

Chorus:

To a star we'll hitch our wagon
And along the road we'll stray,
Someday we'll reach that rainbow,
Rome wasn't built in a day.
We'll find happiness together,
It may still be far away,
But we must both remember,
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Ev'ry mile we'll stop and smile,
Until the journey's end,
Ev'ry mile we'll stop awhile,
Just to make a friend.
If today is filled with sorrow,
If today is dark and gray,
We'll always have tomorrow,
Rome wasn't built in a day.
