I'd like to get away from every city street
To some romantic spot where sky and water meet;
A place that offers something daringly new,
But darling, not without you!

I want to see the moon that makes the desert bright,
I want Niagara in a flood of amber light,
The Adda Rombachs with its beautiful view,
But darling, not without you!

Familiar faces,
The same stupid places,
Are giving me wanderlust;
i want to do things and go everywhere,
But you must be there,
You must!

The Mardi Gras at New Orleans I'm thinking of,
Or out in Hollywood among the stars I love;
There are so many things I'm dying to do,
But darling, not without you!
