Lyrics

I've seen many cities
The new and the old
Copenhagen bored me
Madrid was dark and cold
New York has its crowded streets
Yet I hear no laughter
I vow that hereafter
I'll never roam far from home
I vow that hereafter
Come tears or come laughter
I'll never roam far from home
Cape Town
Lovely Cape Town
You're the fairest city of them all, I know
Oh, my town, I missed you so
You're fragrant summer breeze
The old oak trees
Flower sellers on the Grand Parade
Early morning taxis market trade
Azure oceans, sun-swept mountain scenes
Painted birds and midnight windswept dreams
Sweetest love I know
Deep the rivers flow
I'll never roam far from home
I vow that hereafter
Come tears or come laughter
I'll never roam far from home
Flower sellers on the Grand Parade
Early morning taxis market trade
Azure oceans, sun-swept mountain scenes
Painted birds and midnight windswept dreams
Sweetest love I know
Deep the rivers flow
I'll never roam far from home
I vow that hereafter
Come tears or come laughter
I'll never roam far from home
