Been around but I've found I'd rather be here in your arms I've been on an ocean liner To Bombay and Asia Minor I've seen Calay with All of it's charms I've been in the Eiffel Tower And knew with each passing hour That I'd rather be here in your arms I've been to the Riviera To Switzerland and old Madeira Waikiki, I thrilled to the palms I've been to the Cliffs of Dover And found as I looked them over That I'd rather be here in your arms In Italy, I wished You could hold me tight Goodbye to Rome, I sailed for home One sweet Italian night And now, when I think of China Bombay and Asia Minor Compared to you They're all false alarms In spite of the fun I've tasted Just think of the time I've wasted When I'd rather be here in your arms Yes, I'd rather be here in your arms Yes, I'd rather be here in your arms
