Come Fly With Me
Darren James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land, there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
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 angels cheer because we're together
Weatherwise it's such a lovely day
You just say the word, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It´s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away

I first"met" James Darren on The Time Tunnel. But only in Deep Space did I learn of his musical talents.
@synthoify
I was very young at the time but I remember Goodby Cruel World on the airwaves and I was stunned by the talent of James Darren in Deep Space Nine. I had not seen this type of talent in many years and had to look him up to find out who he is cause I forgot. I am pleased to see all of his Deep Space Nine songs getting lots of plays.
@baracchus
The thing I love about the Star Trek series is how it introduces such quality music to a group of ppl like myself to music like this i would have never found on my own.
