Here I'll Stay

Julie Andrews · Other Songs - Julie Andrews

There's a far place, I'm told,

Where I'll find a field of gold,

But here I'll stay with you;

And they say there's an isle deep with clover,

Where your heart wears a snile all day through.

But I know well they're wrong,

And I know where I belong,

And here I'll stay with you.

For that land is a sandy illusion,

It's the theme of a dream gone astray;

And the world others woo

I can find loving you,

And so here I'll stay.

For that land is a sandy illusion,

It's the theme of a dream gone astray;

And the world others woo

I can find loving you,

And so here I guess I'll stay.
