Come Fly With Me
Michael Bublι 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 lama 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 the angels cheer
Just because 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 all the angels cheer
Just because we're together
Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and I'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
Pack up let's fly away
"Come Fly With Me" is a classic song by Frank Sinatra that Michael Bublé has covered in his own style. It's a romantic invitation to travel with the singer to exotic destinations, where they can enjoy each other's company and the beauty of different cultures. The song starts with the line "Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away," which sets the tone for the adventure that's about to happen. The word "fly" is used both literally (referring to air travel) and figuratively (as a metaphor for freedom and excitement).
The first destination mentioned in the song is Bombay, where there's a bar that serves exotic booze. The suggestion is that the singer and his companion can indulge in some drinks and have a good time together. From there, they travel to Peru, where they can enjoy the music of a one man band who plays the flute. The reference to "lama land" adds to the exoticism of the location and makes it sound even more intriguing.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable part, with the repeated refrain of "Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away." The verses focus on specific locations and activities, but the chorus is more about the feeling of adventure and romance that the singer is trying to create. The lines "Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied, we'll just glide, starry-eyed" suggest that the singer wants to take his companion to a higher level, both physically and emotionally. The use of the word "starry-eyed" is especially significant because it implies a sense of wonder and enchantment that the singer hopes to share with his partner.
Overall, "Come Fly With Me" is a playful and romantic song that encourages the listener to join the singer on a journey of discovery and pleasure. The destinations mentioned in the lyrics are meant to be exotic and alluring, but the real appeal is the sense of excitement and connection that the singer wants to create between himself and his companion.
