Come Fly With Me
Frank S. 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, let's fly, let's 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, 'cause we're together
Weather-wise, 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
Angels cheer, 'cause we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
You 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
Pack up, let's fly away
Frank Sinatra's song "Come Fly with Me" captures the spirit of adventure and romance, inviting listeners to leave their worries behind and join him on a journey to exotic destinations. He sings, "Come fly with me, let's fly away," suggesting to embark on an adventure rather than contemplate what the future may hold. The song opens with the lyrics "If you can use some exotic booze, there's a bar in far Bombay," setting the scene for a carefree, exciting getaway.
Sinatra then takes us to Peru where a one-man band will serenade us with his flute, and we'll enjoy the view from above as we fly through the blue sky. Sinatra's crooning turns to romantic, holding his partner close as they glide through the rarefied air, and the angels cheer, impressed with their companionship. Finally, Sinatra mentions that the weather is perfect in Acapulco Bay, making it a perfect spot for a honeymoon, and let's jet out of here hesitantly. Overall, the lyrics convey a compelling message of taking risks, living in the moment, and savoring life.
