lyrics

Take me away with you, lover of mine.
Any old day will do, any place is fine.
Find us a paradise we can explore.
It would be very nice even if I've been before.
Whether old or new
I'll adore the view
Even more with you.
Take me away.

Show me the open road, fly me afar.
Show me a king's abode in Scotland or in Zanzibar.
Maybe St. Thomas, love... The tropical moon
Will make us a promise of fantasy beneath a dune.
Sweep me off my feet
To the isle of Crete
And don't be discreet!
Take me away.

Let's unwind and let's get away and never react
To all the things that we've left undone.
I wouldn't mind if we jet today, matter o' fact.
Let me know when we go, my bag's already packed!

Take me away with you somewhere sublime
Just for a day or two, or maybe for the rest of time.
Sip a bit of grape
On a windy cape,
Baby let's escape!
Take me away.

Let's unwind and let's get away and never look back
To all the cares that we had before.
I wouldn't mind if we jet today, matter o' fact.
Let me know when we go, my bag's already packed!

What do ya say we go pitch us a tent?
Rent us a bungalow or rumble through the Orient?
Watch the moonlight beam
On a mountain stream.
Well, a girl can dream.
Take me away!
