Irving Berlin - Im On My Way Home Lyrics

[1st verse:]
I was blue and melancholy
And I knew that it was folly
To be feeling so sad
When I ought to be glad
So I sent a little letter
Off it went, I'm feeling better
Got an answer today
Ev'rything is okay

[Refrain:]
Why is the sun shining brighter?
I'm on my way home, I'm on my way home

Why is my heart feeling lighter?
I'm on my way home, I'm on my way home

Why did I buy something nice at the store
Something that she'll adore?
Can't you guess who it's for?

It's for someone with hair growing whiter
Who's happy because I'm on my way home

[2nd verse:]
Not so sweet are things that you chew
When you eat upon a "choo-choo"
They keep opening cans
I've got different plans
When it's time to go to supper
I'll just climb into an upper
Till the morning and then
I'll start eating again

[Patter:]
I've been shopping and I'll put you wise
I've got packages of ev'ry size
Here's a half a dozen knitted ties
For my brother and another
Here's a parasol that's very plain
For my pretty little sister Jane
Here's a nifty little walking cane
For my father but I'd rather
Not
Tell you what
But there's one package more
That I bought at the store
Can't you guess who it's for?
It's for someone with hair growing whiter who's happy because
I'm on my way home
