"There Must Be a Way" is a song written by David Saxon, Robert Cook and Sammy Gallop in 1945. The first recording was by Johnnie Johnston with Paul Baron and His Orchestra in the same year. [2]
The song was published in the post–World War II era, part of a wave of sentimental ballads expressing love, longing, and heartbreak — very much in the style of traditional pop and pre-rock balladry. It became a standard in pop and easy listening, covered by many notable artists over the years.
