Around the World
McGuire Sisters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Around the world
I've searched for you.
I've traveled on
When hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous.

I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me

And I would see
The smile you're smiling now.

It might have been
In
Or in New York
In g** Paris
Or even London town.

No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you.

[Bridge:]

It might have been
In Pounty Down
Or in New York
In g** Paris
Or even London town.

No more will I go all around the world
For I have found...

I've found my world...
In you.

Around the world
I have searched all over the world

I've searched for you.
I have been searching for you

I've traveled on
I have kept moving

When hope was gone
Even when I lost hope

To keep a rendezvous.
I kept our appointment in hopes of seeing you

I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
I was sure that somehow, somewhere, someday we'll meet

You'd look at me
You'd finally see me

And I would see
And I would witness

The smile you're smiling now.
The smile that shines on your face now

It might have been
Perhaps it happened

In, Or in New York
In any city, like New York
