Come Fly With Me

Writer(s): fischer


Chicago, chicago that toddling town
Chicago, chicago i'll show you around - i love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in chicago
The town that billy's sunday could not shut down

On state street that great street i just want to say
They do things that they don't do on broadway - say
They have the time the time of their life
I say a man and he danced with his wife
In chicago, my home town

Autumn in new york
Why does it seem so exciting (inviting)
Autumn in new york
It spells the thrill of first-knighting

Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (glittering crowds and shimmering clouds)
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - i'm home

It's autumn in new york
That brings a (the) promise of new love
Autumn in new york
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
(they) all sigh for exotic lands

(but) it's autumn in new york
It's good to live it again

This autumn in new york
Transforms the slums into mayfair
Autumn in new york
You'll need no castles in spain

Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in central park

(but) it's autumn in new york
It's good to live it again

(- in new york)

Night and you and blue hawaii
The night is heavenly and you are heaven to me
Lovely you and blue hawaii
With all this loveliness, there should be love

Come with me while the moon is on the sea
The night is young and so are we

Dreams come true in blue hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you

`twas on the isle of capri that i found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, i can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Where we met on the isle of capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though i sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the isle of capri

Summertime was nearly over
Blue italian sky above
I said "lady, i'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word o'love?"

She whispered softly "it's best not to linger"
And then as i kissed her hand i could see
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
'twas goodbye at the villa capri

<instrumental-horns with mandolin>

Summertime was nearly over
Blue italian sky above
I said "lady, i'm a rover,
Can you spare a fine word o'love?"

She whispered softly "it's best not to linger"
And then as i kissed her hand i could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
'twas goodbye on the isle of capri
'twas goodbye on the isle of capri
'twas goodbye on the isle of capri

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till april in paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till april in paris
Whom can i run to
What have you done to my heart

London by night is a wonderful sight
There is magic abroad in the air
I'm often told that the streets turn into gold
When the moon shines on * circus and square *

Deep in the dark that envelops the park
There's romance in each cigarette glow
Down by the thames, lights that sparkle like gems
Seem to wink at each girl and her beau

Up comes the moon when the city's asleep
He's not alone, for it seems
Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
While each londoner dreams

My love and i saw the sun leave the sky
Then we kissed in the fast-fading light
Most people say they love london by day
But lovers love london by night

Around the world i've searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me and i would see the smile you're smiling now

It might have been in county down
Or in new york, in gay paree , or even london town
No more will i go all around the world
For i have found my world in you

<instrumental-first verse>

It might have been in county down
Or in new york, in gay paree , or even london town
No more will i go all around the world
For i have found my world in you

It's very nice to go trav'ling
To paris london and rome
It's oh so nice to go trav'ling
But it's so much nicer, yes it's so much nicer, to come home

It's very nice to just wander
The camel route to iraq
It's oh so nice to just wander
But it's so much nicer, yes it's oh so nice, to wander back

The mam'selles and frauleins, and the senoritas are sweet
But they can't compete 'cause they just don't have
What the models have, on madison ave.

It's very nice to be footloose
With just a toothbrush and comb
It's oh so nice to be footloose
But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' across the foam

And you know your fate is
Where the empire state is
All you contemplate is
The view from miss liberty's dome

It's very nice to go trav'ling
But it's oh so nice to come home

You will find the maiden and the gay muchachas are rare
But they can't compare with that sexy line
That parades each day at sunset and vine

It's quite the life to play gypsy
And roam as gipsies will roam
It's quite the life to play gypsy
But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' across the foam

And the hudson river
Makes you start to quiver
Like the latest flivver
That's simply dripin' with crome

It's very nice to go trav'ling
But it's oh so nice to come home
