Wondrous Place
Fury Billy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A magic world in my baby's arms
Her soft embrace like satin and lace
Wondrous place
What a spot in a storm
To cuddle up and stay nice and warm
Away from harm in my baby's arms
Man I'm nowhere
When I'm anywhere else
But I don't care
Everything's right when she holds me tight
Her tender hands on my face
I'm in heaven in her embrace
I want to stay and never go away
Wondrous place
Man I'm nowhere
When I'm anywhere else
But I don't care
Everything's right when she holds me tight
Her tender hands on my face
I'm in heaven in her embrace
I want to stay and never go away

I was brought up with Billy Fury by my mum whom liked Billy truly. Another great singer gone too soon. Not many singers like this today.
@christopherheath7340
It's ridiculous that this song only reached No.25 in the charts in 1960
@jimmygrieves2909
The first time I heard this song , it stopped me in my tracks - it has such atmosphere - it's my favourite Billy Fury song by a mile.
@thebudmakesuweiser2709
Little bit same..Just heard it on an advert🔥🔥🔥
@lyrimetacurl0
Another one that did that is "Right Down the Line" (Gerry Rafferty).
@pumi63

@king77703
Agreed, he never got the breaks, bad management, poor health also contributed to Billy Fury not deserving better things 👍
