Come Fly With Me
Âó¿É²¼À×Michael Buble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there,
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may heat the angels cheer - just because we're together

Weatherwise it's such a lovely day
Just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away

Once I get you up there,
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer - just because we're together

Weatherwise it's such a kooky day
You just say the words, and I'll beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me




Let's fly let's fly
Pack up let's fly away

Overall Meaning

"Come Fly With Me" is a classic song written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn, popularized by Frank Sinatra in the 1950s. Michael Buble also recorded a version of this song in which he sings about taking a plane ride to faraway destinations. The lyrics evoke a sense of adventure, romance, and spontaneity, inviting the listener to join in the journey.


In the first verse, Buble invites his companion to join him on a trip to Bombay, India, where they can indulge in some exotic drinks at a local bar. The second verse suggests that they continue on to Peru, where they can enjoy the music of a solo musician playing a traditional wooden flute. The chorus or refrain of the song repeats the invitation to join Buble on his travels, promising a romantic adventure once they reach their destination. Buble imagines them floating on clouds, observing the stars, and feeling the thrill of a new love.


The bridge of the song takes us to a higher altitude, where the air is rarefied, and the angels cheer. Buble promises to hold his lover close and make her feel safe while they soar through the sky. The final verse returns us to the practicalities of travel, with Buble noting that the weather is lovely as they prepare to descend into Acapulco Bay, a renowned honeymoon spot.
