The Last Mile Home

The Last Mile Home - Doris Day

The longest mile, the sweetest mile,

The last mile home

The longest mile is the last mile home

When you've been away

The dearest dreams are the dreams of home

When you've been away

You travel far over land and sea

Then one day it's as clear as can be

The sweetest mile you'll ever roam

Is the last mile home.

You can travel round the globe

And see a lot of things

From Mandalay to old Pompeii

To Paris in the spring.

But you'll only learn one thing

Yes, just one thing.

You travel far over land and sea

Then one day it's as clear as can be

The sweetest mile you'll ever roam

Is the last mile home.
