Lyrics:

Rod McKuen
Chorus:
I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home
Still and all, I'm happy The reason is, you see, once in a while, along the way, love's been good to me
There was a girl in Denver before the summer's storm Oh, her eyes were tender Oh, her arms were warm,
And she could smile away the thunder Kiss away the rain and even though she's gone away, you won't hear me complain
(Chorus)
There was a girl in Portland before the winter chill We use to go a-courtin' along October hill,
And she could laugh away the dark clouds Cry away the snow It seems like only yesterday as down the road I go
(Chorus)
Once in a while along the way, love's been good to me
