Let The Rest Of The World Go By    (1919)

With someone like you, a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind, and go and find
A place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own

We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Out there beneath the kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest, somewhere out in the West
And let the rest of the world go by

Lyrics by J. Keirn Brennan.
Composed by Ernest R. Ball.
Recorded by Dick Haymes (1944).
Used in the soundtrack of the movie "Out of Africa" (1985)
