Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for a world to roam in
Now the world is in my arms
No more endless searching for
A place to feel at home in
For the world is in my arms
Sappoco sees here in your eye
When I see you smile
I see the sunset of Geneva
What's that magic in your charms
When I hold you
I hold the world
Right here in my arms

This can be interpreted as a metaphor for finding peace and comfort within oneself and the acceptance and love of another.
The lyrics further describe the mesmerizing effect the loved one has on the singer, with the imagery of the Mexican hill flower, the sky, and the sunset of Geneva. The charm and magic of their love seem to engulf the singer and the world around them.
