I'd never let myself smell the roses  I'd drink a bitter wine  With memories of Moses  In a broken line.  My idols on pedestals -  I threw them all away,  'Cause I could not tell the lies  From the light of day.  Oh, Happiness Road  Is hard way to hoe  A mile of broken stone   miles all alone   miles and miles  Bitterness is a cruel mistress  I was standing in line  And I guess I missed this  Warning sign  No bills posted  No message on the wall  You'll get it at all.  'Cause Happiness road  Is hard way to hoe  A mile of broken stone   miles all alone   miles and miles  We make our own myths  It's only hit or miss  And anything else would be  Better than this  Better than a mile of broken stone   miles all alone   miles and miles   miles and miles   miles and miles...  Piano - George Winston   Courtesy of Windham Hill Records  French horn - Jeff de Rosa
