Love Theme from "La Strada" (Traveling Down a Lonely Road) - Perry Como

Why am I alone?

Why am I alone,

Traveling down a lonely road?

Darling, can’t you see?

I don’t wanna be,

Traveling down a lonely road.

If you would open up your heart

And let my love come shining through,

You’d know how much

I wanna walk the road with you.

..

Won’t you understand?

Won’t you take my hand?

It’s been such a lonely road.

..

If you would open up your heart

And let my love come shining through,

You’d know how much

I wanna walk the road with you.

..

Won’t you understand?

Won’t you take my hand?

It’s been such a lonely road.

..

Such a lonely road.

..
