BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE
Composer, Jessie B. Pounds
Lyrics, John Sylvester Fearis
As sung by Harold Jarvis
for the Victor Talking Machine Company, 1909
Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.
Refrain
Somewhere, somewhere,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Somewhere the day is longer,
Somewhere the task is done;
Somewhere the heart is stronger,
Somewhere the guerdon won.
Refrain
Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open door;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels sing.
Refrain
