Walk With Me
will osborne and his orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home
Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No, no, no
Till I come marching home
I just got word from a guy who heard
From the guy next door to me
The girl he met just loves to pet
And it fits you to a T
So don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home
I just got word from a guy who heard
From the guy next door to me
The girl he met just loves to pet
And it fits you to a T
So don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home, sweet home
Till I come marching home
"Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away" is a song that encourages a person to go on a spontaneous adventure with the singer. The women in Bombay's bar, the one-man band in Peru, and the possibility of soaring in the sky inspired the singer to seek someone to join him in his life of adventure. He urges them to open up and leave the humdrum of everyday life behind for a while - to get away from their comfort zone and embark on new experiences. The singer's words are both a hopeful invitation and a promise of excitement that they won't regret.
The chorus of the song, which has become a popular jazz standard, is a measure of the singer's charm and is emotive. He describes gazing at the stars, flying in the sky, and being so close to the person he is with that they could hear the angels cheer. The song is an expression of love for adventure, and not only a literal flight through space, it inspires the listener to explore the possibility of different worlds.
